UAL may pay CEO $15 million


Bloomberg News
UAL Corp., the parent of United Airlines, is considering paying Chief Executive Glenn Tilton $15 million in stock after the carrier exits bankruptcy, according to a consultant's review of the proposal obtained by Bloomberg News. The company's top eight executives would receive -- over a four-year period -- restricted stock and options valued at $24 million, giving them a 3.3 percent stake.

"The members find it gross and disgusting that United executives are going to benefit from the workers' sacrifices," said Joe Tiberi, a spokesman for the International Association of Machinists, which represents baggage handlers and customer service agents at the carrier.

"This seems reasonable in comparison to what has been done in other large public company cases," said Lynn LoPucki, a UCLA law professor who specializes in bankruptcy law.

Next week, a court is to consider the company's bid to exit from Chapter 11 as early as February.
