Makes Frank Borman look like Mother Teresa, what is your union doing about this man?
"He attracted the scorn of corporate ethics watchdogs for awarding himself a $366,000 bonus in 2004 and negotiating a deal in 2005 for upper management to receive $115 million of preferred stock if the company ever emerged from bankruptcy proceedings.
After entering bankruptcy, Tilton sought and achieved major cuts in employees' pay and the termination of the employees' pensions. Tilton characterized these cuts as "shared sacrifices" among management and labor. However upon exiting bankrutpcy, Tilton received $39,700,000 in compensation and senior management received stock options worth hundreds of millions of dollars while the employees continued to receive bankruptcy wages. The generous payments to management after obtaining steep concessions from employees has created bitter labor relations at the airline."
