Greg Foran
With regards to the CEO of Air New Zealand, Greg Foran taking a pay cut, let me just say that as a company Air New Zealand has one of the nicest, most down to earth and sincere persons you could ever meet. I know Greg personally having flown him many times in different parts of the world while he was my boss in my corporate job. He was always a pleasure to fly and work with.
He will do what is right for the company and for it's employees as well as drive the Company forward with a service oriented culture.
It is often so easy to point the finger or to make ill informed statements about those that head up large corporations and to decry the salaries and benefit packages they earn. But having witnessed the work lifestyle and pressure that someone like Greg deals with I for one would not wish to do his job for all the money in the world.
