Fine, doesn't this mean CEO's in the USA have to work a lot harder to generate revenue due to the stiff competition, and the reason that QF has so much revenue per aircraft is purely because of its monopolistic position and nothing to do with the work of the CEO.
Once again, the CEO's in the USA have to work so much harder amongst stiff competition but get paid less. In the meantime, QF is in a monopolistic position and the revenue just comes in without any hard work at all.

For clarity... I am pointing out the differences. I did not say that CEO’s in the USA should get more if they emulated the returns.
