The Apologetic CEO: Alan Joyce's Mea Culpa Falls Short Alan Joyce, former CEO of Qantas, has finally expressed regret over his handling of the airline during the COVID 19 pandemic.
His apology comes in the form of a book tour, where he shared his side of the story with the media. The COVID 19 pandemic was a shock to the global aviation industry, and Qantas was no exception.
The airline announced mass layoffs, including 1820 ground crew employees, which were later ruled unlawful by the High Court.
