Using the same math as the reporter, Leo Mullin at Delta got a 117% increase in compensation in 2002 over 2001, *excluding* options.

His options granted in 2002 are worth <cough> $8,213,135.

David Siegel, who started as CEO of US in March 2002, made $3,805,756. He also got more than an additional $3,000,000 in options that were cancelled in December because he took his company into bankruptcy.

All of 'dese airline execs are starting to annoy me. Can't wait to see what AA puts out.
