There are Fedex pilots in MEM who make more than Menke.

He could leave tomorrow and get a senior level management job in any other industry for the same or more money.

He took a pay increase because his stock is worthless, and the BOD realized it was worth having a real CEO in charge of restructuring, rather than some Memphis bred bozo.

Stop the irrational envy and focus your energy on something productive, like finding a better job.
