Do you really think GD is being fair anyone. His relative take is greater than the return to share holders (not including div's). He is gangbusters against LAME's. I wonder where middle management would fair in this exercise.
Of course GD is unique. He is rates customers and employees as insignificant, "only the shareholders are important". So I doubt he will miss our overtime, higher duties and secondment in January. Perhaps GD will get a truck load of shareholders in to change a few wheels when needed?
I just wonder if Marg is thinking "you'd have to be mental not to take the 3%"
