Thats WHY they make millions, because they didn't settle for being an average working Joe. If you have such a problem with it I suggest you go to an Ivy League type school, get an MBA or PhD and throw your hat in the fray. Until then you just sound like sour grapes when someone posts a well thought out response.
You call someone who writes "porky mouth" a well thought out response.
Get a life pal. I am well aware of how much CEOs of other corporations make, but they are not running oil companies. This thread, in case you have not noticed, is about oil. You don't know how to read do you? Merely pointing out huge salary discrepancies between Corporate managers and the average working Joe is not being a sour grape. I am not the only one on this thread who feels this way.
By the way, I do have a degree from an Ivy League University. How about you? For your information, only a handful of corporate CEOs are Ivy League graduates. Are you even a college graduate? I doubt it.
Some of us, believe it or not, are airline pilots not to chase the money but because we love to fly.
