The BOD are the CLOWNS who approve these ridiculous salaries and parachutes. THEY are resposible for this crap. THEY are ANOTHER part of the PROBLEM. THEY are ALL LOSERS in my opinion. If your company said "here, let me give you a $5 million pay package plus bennies to run this company into BK", would you take it? Of course you would!

Bankrupt Pinnacle should rethink big raises for execs, lawmakers say - Flight 3407 - The Buffalo News
Sure is nice to know that some of our elected leaders in our goverment are actually standing up to corporate goons like Sean Menke. What a loser he is.

It is also time to start suffering with your employees. Not to mention strategically speaking this was not a good move. First, the company doesn't have the cash flow and secondly how do you look a BK judge in the face and keep a straight face and tell them you need employee concessions to stay afloat but at the same time they can afford 1/2 million in executive pay raises? Advantage labor groups.
"I like puzzles," he said. "It's a fascinating game for me to have $20 million, $25 million planes that you get to move around like toys."
Someone buy this guy some dolls or World of Warcraft and hire a real CEO.

Frontier pilots took paycuts with smiles on their face. Menke had every reason to love those guys and vice versa. An exec wanting to cut labor and a labor group all to happy to help. Marriage made in heaven.

We are still here BOZO and making a descent wage. Until you are in our den and know what really went on to save the company(not just pilots) do not speak half truths and BS!
This is about Pinnacle and not F9.
For the rest of you at Pinnacle, The top executives should lead by example and in this case unfortunately they are not. Your pain should be their pain as well which is not happening.
Good luck to you all.
