Did Delta also end an era of luxurious "management pay" by 32.5 percent?

Executives have high saleries because they do a job few can do. Not
many people on this planet can be good CEOs. CEOs are highly paid for
the same reason NBA Basketball stars are, not many people can do those
jobs.

Baloney. This is just CEO propanganda. Easily, 50% or more, of middle
managers could do the CEO job. There is nothing difficult or special about
it. Simply because management is a pyramid with one job at the top does not
mean that the top job is so special that only a few are capable of doing it.
In the computer industry most engineers could be adequate CEOs, but few CEOs
can be even mediocre engineers.
