As to the notion that "Count Chocula pays himself accordingly," the CEO compensation of UC Holdings is determined by an executive committee consisting of board directors. Paying oneself "accordingly" really can't be done. I think your beef might be with the board. Nonetheless, it's still irrelevant to the market comp for pilots...large company, small company, whatever.
Again, your Stockholm Syndrome is shining right through. You don't care that Smisek pays himself 10 times more than the more successful Gary Kelly from SWA?
You may not care but I most certainly do.
