Flight Centre CEO Graham Turner has stated former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce has been set up as a “fall guy” after having his payout slashed today.

Joyce will now receive $9.26 million less than originally planned from the airline, and Mr Turner thinks the move “wasn’t totally unexpected”.

“Alan’s probably been a bit of a fall guy for this I think,” Mr Turner told Jacqui Felgate on 3AW Drive.

Press PLAY to hear him explain why
