Who are you to question how much money someone makes? Now with the shoe on the other foot, who is Smisek or any manager for that matter, to tell you how much you can or can't make. The only way to turn this around is to insist on MORE via JCBA or self help. We shouldn't give a rat's rear how much some greed pig or good manager for that matter makes, so long as they make it somewhere other than from pilot concessions.

When my mechanic charges me less to fix my car, or when the bank calls me and arbitrarily reduces my mortgage or when my girlfriend comes home with a reduced grocery bill, then and only then will I feel like anyone should make a little less. If I were you however, I wouldn't hold your breath.
CEO's do not negotiate per se for the pay packages as most pay packages are the brain-child of "Compensation Consultants" who put together packages to "attract talent". ......what a crock. Corporate treasuries are being looted by this so-called talent at the expense of the stockholders and employees. I don't know what a person should earn as CEO of a company but I do know that if we, the stockholders, don't put the brakes on these compensation packages we are all doomed
