An executive is on the job 24/7. When they will go on a 4 day business trip they work the entire time and are expected to show up for work again the day after returning. No fun.

hey, sky--i respect GOOD management, like greg brenneman (who now runs burger king) whom we used to have at CAL. the clowns now in power have a single talent: enriching themselves by taking pay, taking retirement, taking benefits, from the people who have devoted their lives to their airlines and then bailing with multi-millions when they just can't seem to manage. not to worry: they'll soon be hired some other place because they are part of the "club". that would be the "i'll sit on YOUR BOD and vote you astronomical salaries and stock options and you sit on MY BOD and vote me astronomical salaries and stock options".
management like this should be shot.
