Airline CEOs ripped a page right out of MLB. I went to a double-A minor league game the other day, and out of curiosity looked up their average pay. My hat is off to those guys...their pay might even be worse than when I was a new hire FO (pre-bonuses, auto-3rd year pay etc). But, they’re all hoping for that call up to the big show. Apparently, less than 10% will ever get that call.
