Say what you will, but getting paid millions per year to posit this idiotic idea is stupid. Wait - is a stupid CEO an oxymoron? Hmm.
Are you an airline financial analyst?
Granted, executive compensation can be questioned and is a sore spot with many employee groups, especially at AA. But that's peanuts compared to the present cost of fuel.
"All of the airlines will immediately show a profit" by adjusting management salaries? I don't think so.
