A model for future CEO's?

What do you guys think about this guy? Personally I kind of feel like high-fiving the guy and asking him for a job.

No kidding. The corporate world can use a few more of his kind, that's for sure.

yeah...the situation with the auto / airline industry makes me sick.

"i make 100+ million a year and ran one of the largest companies in the cornerstone of transportation into the ground due to greed and bad decisions. Can I borrow a few billion from the taxpayers and then charge them more for my services?"

Wow, just wow.

1) That's amazing PR

2) If my CEO was making the same amount as me I would be working much harder right now.

3) It's actually a genuinely good thing to do for this world.

Japan is such a different society than the US. The social cohesion and homogeneity that makes this kind of gesture consistent with Japanese culture doesn't even exist in the US.

Here it's all about the bottom line: the almighty dollar...and whatever you have to do to get your grubby little hands on it. He who cashes out first and ends up with the biggest haul wins...

Sad but true, I'm afraid.

How much is he already worth? Michael Bloomberg for example makes $1/year as mayor of New York, which isn't hard for him since he's a billionaire. But this guy is probably independently wealthy as well. It sounds like he's doing a great job, but I wouldn't say that this is totally unique to Japan. There are examples of people sacrificing their time for others around the world.

I very much agree with the idea of giving away my highly educated services for pennies on the dollar. If I was a CEO of a company like this I would definitely work for a couple of years for a few tens of thousands of dollars and then retire to live off of my modest savings.

Don't forget about Lee Iacocca in the 80's, taking a buck a year while asking others to take pay cuts. If I ever make it this far in business, I want to make enough to live a modest life, but I can't imagine making millions a year.

He is someone I could model myself after.

That's good stuff, but just think about the access you'd have to hot Asian JAL flight attendants. Win-win.
