The rest of the management team at US Airways had no problem taking their bonuses, just Parker that didn't.
And those guys were not exactly undercompensated to begin with. Some of the vice presidents are paid, with bonuses, approx $700,000 USD or about $5.6 million HK.
The US is a bad place to use as an example for executive good behavior.
The previous managers at US Airways have all left with millions of dollars (and their retirements intact) as a reward for what was usually a job poorly done). The managers at UAL just rewarded themselves handsomely for three years of bankruptcy.
