The Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA) is calling for Qantas chairman Richard Goyder to step down following what it says in one of the most damaging periods in the airline's history — the first time the organisation has made such a demand.
abc.net.au/news/qantas-pilots-say-richard-goyder-must-step-down/102899428Pilots are calling for Qantas chairman Richard Goyder to step down — the first time such a call has been made by the Australian and International Pilots Association .Last week Mr Goyder maintained that he had the confidence of the Qantas board and major investorsIn a statement, the association said it had written to Qantas chief executive Vanessa Hudson to inform of her of the pilots' position.
"Richard Goyder has overseen one of the most damaging periods in Qantas history which has included the illegal sacking of 1,700 workers, allegations of illegally marketing cancelled flights, and a terribly managed return to operations after Covid-19," AIPA president Tony Lucas said. "The morale of Qantas pilots has never been lower. We have totally lost confidence in Goyder and his Board.“Despite overseeing the destruction of the Qantas brand, Goyder last week accepted a near $100,000 pay rise — taking his pay to $750,000 — while staff are expected to accept a two-year wage freeze. This is a galling and tone-deaf decision.
