The only reason airline CEOs are compensated so well is because there is a shortage of workers willing to do such jobs.
If they cut the CEO compensation to $300,000 a year, there would be no applicants qualified to maintain billion dollar losses at a billion dollar company.
Then where would we be?

Those are pretty good paychecks considering we are in the worst economy since the Great Depression. That's a fine example they are setting for the rest of us common folks, some of which are being furloughed. By the way, it looks like Tilton's total compensation was 10.3 million for 2008.

What's funny is that on Airliners.net a couple of people were saying that Larry Kellner was leaving Continental to start his own investment firm to "make some money before he fully retires!"
Uh, hello! The guy has made and earned plenty of money to retire on since he joined CAL. Same as most executives here. He could leave CAL and never have to work again....
.....unless he is one of the hundreds of thousands of US citizens with a ultra-super-duper-jumbo-squared-to-the-max-mortgage he can't afford to pay in the current economy?
