Yeah and most of that was stock options. Here is a quote from an article about the Alaska executive pay for last year.
"The Alaska board of directors has maintained Ayer's base salary at $360,000 a year for the last three years. That base salary is less than the $551,375 average base compensation for the CEOs of rival major U.S. airlines."
And now with AS shareholders being given a vote on executive bonuses, looks like their pay will remain reasonable and much less outrageous than industry standards.
