Nice, I like how you ignore the central point of the post.

"You complain about a CEO's pay package and throw numbers around without explanation. This is a tried and true union tactic. Rile up the workers against the mean old management bogeyman. You say that the CEO's pay is more than the profit of the entire airline. That is false. If you had bothered to look into it for yourself you would have discovered that the 40 million dollar figure thrown around is over a four year period. You would also have learned that it is only accurate if he sells his stock options when the price of the stock is at $57 a share. What is the high of the stock price since coming out of bankruptcy? $50? $51? What is it now? $40? You also fail to admit that this pay package was agreed to and understood by the unions PRIOR TO EXITING BANKRUPTCY and is now being used to rile the troops.

The numbers I found said that Tilton was paid about $9 million for the past 12 months. Is that too much? I don't know. Am I pissed off about it? No. Someone will be the CEO and that person will negotiate the best deal possible.

When was the last time you or your union were happy with a UA CEO?

Ever?"

Can you at least agree that your numbers were wrong?




BTW, You have not incited me to anger. I just don't like seeing lies used to further a unions' positions.
