I think you mean Michele "not bankrupt" Burns. You'd think the CFO who kept a carrier out of bankruptcy during her tenure would actually be lauded, but this is FT.. :rolleyes

Sorry folks, but when you're a C-suite executive and they want to bring in a new CEO(not replace the CFO, mind you), and you realize that the new CEO isn't on the same page as you, it's more than reasonable to negotiate the best possible terms for an amicable exit. There's a reason that MB is on the board of ABInBev and GoldmanSachs. Meanwhile you're here complaining like a child.

This keeps getting trotted out multiple times on FT and no one has any clue to the amount of stress, work and life reduction it takes to manage the finances of an airline post 9/11. God forbid you be fight for contractual promises made for doing an excellent job. If I was in the market for a CFO I would certainly want someone that would fight for every penny due to them.
