I don't think United will pay for his actions. I think in this era of personal responsibility and accountability that if one engaged in any sort of illegal or unethical practices that that individual is personally culpable and responsible. If any legal actions are filed, expect there to be named plaintiffs.
Further, if he engaged in any sort of unprofessional/unethical, or unsanctioned conduct, expect the company will not back him and further expect there to be some sort of "detrimental conduct" clause to be in his contract.
I would like to read his contract so that I would better understand the mandatory triggers of his golden parachute, as well as the limitations of it (if any).
5 million dollar golden parachute is a big deal. There's gotta be some provisions in it to limit or prevent its deployment.
