KnightFlyer,
So what's your point? Is it that Fred Smith is only the 5th highest paid billionaire on Forbes' list? Or is it that he was paid a compensation package worth 14.1 million last year, or that he's worth around 3.8 billion? Regardless, I'm not sure what this has to do with the pilot contract or the current negotiations? Do you think if he took a pay cut, to let's say 500K/yr, that the contract would be made any better or that negotiation would conclude any sooner? I doubt it.
