OldrnU2 :
Most management pilots get a promotion after a tail strike-DOH!!
The pilot in the discussion here happens to be a "Director of Flight". At AMR, managers of grades Managing Directors and beyond each April get a ca$h $tock payout (depending on AMR stock "performance") of some really HEFTY payments. They can (and most of them have) cash out immediately. A buddy of mine, a managing director got
$900,000 CASH the first year of the payouts several years ago.!!!!
