I don't think anyone questions the level of responsibility or headaches (most) executives have...
What burns me is the amount of compensation they get in relation to the TINY PERCENTAGE of personnel they represent...a TINY FRACTION of employees get a MONSTER SHARE in compensation...
How can they DARE to collect MILLIONS when companies are in BANKRUPTCY, and Joe-Schmoe ramp agent, customer service rep, baggage handler, dispatcher, and yes...pilot employee has to take a 40% paycut?? COME ON...
This has NOTHING to do with how much pilots make, or how prestigious we think our jobs are, or how important we may think we are...this has to do with ETHICS...the average employee takes massive paycuts, and these buttheads get away with MILLIONS!!!
Sorry, Skyhigh, even you can't be THAT jaded.
