Thats only $125 per year per pilot. Your 5%, or 7%, or whatever it is today contribution will be able to support a lot more management raises than this.

Wow. I didn't think SM would do something like that. Well, just another CEO looking out for themselves. The respect I had for him...GONE! You can take your 5% and shove it up your pie hole!

On the verge of bankruptcy, claiming we all need to give up 5% permantly to get this company profitable again and then this happens?!?!?! What a freaking joke... All the positives I heard about SM just went out the window.... BTW where's the quarterly reports? Do the reports warrant a raise?

Utterly deplorable. Even if pay cuts are necessary at a company, the CEO is supposed to LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Not give himself a pay raise.

CEO pay is determined by the Board of Directors, which Menke is a member of. But I'm sure he had no objections. He'll blame the board for his raise.

Pinnacle's board is corrupt. This is the reason several share holders are seeking spots on the board. There is a battle going on right now, look at the SEC filings.

search PNCL.

Maybe its going down like this...

His pay is going to be cut. Either by the board, in bankruptcy, or as a show of good faith to get employee pay cuts. So before that cut happens, why not raise it?

Start at $425k/yr. Raise pay to $675k/yr. In the future, take a pay "cut" to $500k/yr. Then he can go around saying "Even I'm doing it! I just took an almost $200k/yr paycut, now its your turn!"... while still making more money than he started off with.
