you may be right re the shareholders getting sick of corporate greed, but it still has nothing to do with your pay. Your case will stand on its own merits. If the shareholders get sick of GD they will vote him out, but rest assured, regardless of the salary a new CEO will be on, he will also be trying to keep your salaries down. Management pay is largely irrelevant, other than to prove that they dont really think the company is in financial difficulty. Play the ball not the man.
