PARIS (Reuters) - Air France-KLM’s (AIRF.PA) board is likely to appoint Air Canada’s (AC.TO) chief operating officer Benjamin Smith as its new boss on Thursday, according to French newspaper Liberation.
Not much new in there. Looking at the original Liberation is actually more interesting.

It appears they advanced the date of the meeting to this Thursday in order to make a decision. Many members will join by phone.

Second detail: salary to be offered apparently is 3.3 millon Euro/year. "Only" 20% more than his current pay. But three times that of his predecessor.

People are obviously not well paid in France....
