If you have some facts about the salary/perks, I wouldn't mind seeing them. God forbid we actually introduce factual elements into the discussion.

I wouldn't mind seeing the salary vary according to the fortunes of the average Delta pilot, but I don't want the package to be a dis-incentive for good people either. I don't even mind CEO's making decent salaries, as long as the performance follows. Bottom line" I want to be paid well. Getting others to be paid crap does nothing but add company to the misery.

As long as the total compensation is not obscene, I think this is not a very fruitful discussion. I'd rather talk about "non-compete" clauses, and avoiding future conflicts of interests for these guys.
