Anger Rising Over CEO Pay

Apples and oranges? The increase was last year. Did employees (except other mgt) really take decreases last year? Surely some saw raises last year.

I thought the negotiated agreements are for the future, as is Carty''s 33% cut.

Some executives have taken pay cuts. But others have done well even as their companies suffer. Don Carty, CEO of American Airlines parent AMR Corp. (AMR: down $1.15 to $3.85, Research, Estimates), enjoyed a 38 percent increase in pay last year to $811,125. Employees of American took wage cuts this month that allowed the struggling carrier cost savings of more than $1.6 billion. Carty agreed to a pay cut this year.
