You won't find me defending Executive pay but we may not be talking about the same person.
The CEO renumeration did dip when income dipped, remember most of financial year 2019/2020 wasn't affected and the critical summer period was the best ever. It has rebounded as traffic did, to my mind rather better than NATS staff in general who actually gave back their 2019/20 payrise when the pandemic hit.
