Amid strikes and cancelled flights, Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon is the target of a campaign on YouTube.
The video features a person dressed in Qantas hat and uniform, with his voice digitally altered and wearing a mask of Mr Dixon.
"This will be the first of a many part series that is going to be the FOD program - the F--- Off Dixon program," the actor says.
"As you can see I'm wearing the appropriate apparel on my head and no doubt there are shirts out there with the FOD symbol on it.
" If you see any one of the employees wearing hats like this or shirts, just remember - FOD program."
It comes as engineers walked off the job for the second day causing 18 flights to be cancelled, after wage negotiations between Qantas and the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association fell apart.
The union is asking for an annual wage increase of five per cent, while the company is asking for three per cent.
"The unions are trying to bully me into a place where I don't want to be, with a five per cent increase of their wages," the actor says in the video.
"I think it's suitable they only get three per cent and I think three per cent is quite sufficient even though I did take a 21 per cent increase in my wages from 2006 and 2007, but don't worry about me."
