I have a neighbor (vacation home) who founded and owns a controlling interest in a fortune 500 company. He has a few jets and once asked what it would take to entice me away from the airlines (he knows me well, our kids grew up together). My semi-facetious response was that I'd need a contract guaranteeing legacy airline QOL, and a trust fund guaranteed to pay out projected legacy airline compensation to age 67. And home basing.
He understood where I was coming from, and I probably could have negotiated a pretty good package. But ultimately I prefer the anonymity of airlines, even if I could have sold him on a deal comparable to my airline gig.
Point being, businessmen should understand the logic behind such a contract.
