While airline CEOs often aren’t popular with employees or customers, it’s rare that they get targeted in this way…

It also could have been anti-vaxxers angry that QF will require proof of vaccination for international flights even after the government requirement ends.

Could be any of the 2000 workers he sacked illegally during the pandemic. Or any Australian taxpayer he stole billions from. And good on them if they did.

It's TPed. "TeePeed" means people came and set up tents on his lawn.

Hope it was one of the thousands of people the prick fired illegally in COVID while the company was living off government support!

"TeePee" is an offensive term for a Native American's home. You should be ashamed.

It is "Tepee", technically. But agreed TPing something is a correct acronym rather than how he spelled it.

@JK, How could you possibly think he meant it in that context.

Offensive? I thought it was a literal translation of a Sioux word?

To be honest, I don't think anyone cares about Alan Joyce's house as so many in Australia dislike Alan Joyce! This wasn't even covered in the Australian press much and looks like the story is only starting to get legs here because it is being picked up across the world so I guess we will see more of it. What is covered extensively of course is the issue of staff terminations, outsourcing positions, flight cancellations, ridiculous prices, cancelled flights, slow refunds, cancelled flights and appalling customer service. Qantas abandoned the Australian market during Covid and left all the heavy lifting predominantly to the Middle East Carriers for freight - that alone should make customers want to abandon QF. Unfortunately now, QF appears to be unable to handle the high level of travel demand. Joyce clearly has always disliked both staff and customers and seems only to care for shareholders who of course keep rewarding him with the big bucks. None of that is new!

LarryInNYC - you had the same read I did, really had never heard toilet paper (thrown for decoration) abbreviated that way!

I had never seen before that it was offensive (having lived, studied and worked on Native American Pueblos, now living just a mile from one). I must have some research to do. Gosh, I still remember back in my youth learning to build one - that was the name. Again the real impact though is that it's not the right term for the article and set us off on a different path.

Also - video ads are beyond annoying.

2 completely unrelated facts?
Airbus reached a $4 billion settlement with French, U.S. and U.K. prosecutors in 2020 in connection with a bribery scandal in which Airbus illegally swayed government officials and other decision-makers on airplane sales.
Boeing has not won a single competition at QF since Joyce took over as CEO.
Things that make you go HMMM!

Frustrated with no availability of qantas first or business class award seats!
Seriously anyone notice there is nothing but coach for months?
Kidding aside that is horrible and unexpected especially in Australia
The world keeps changing and not in a good way scary times

A sad example of tone deaf leadership and an utter lack of emotional intelligence. Also a sad manifestation of the hyper capitalism that is disenchanting many and can lead to an erosion of brand equity.

Pretty pathetic of people to attack someone's private home and anyone condoning that behaviour should be ashamed. And who is anyone to have a dig at someone for buying the type of home they want or can afford. The ridiculous tall poppy syndrome that can be so prevalent here in Australia.
