Executive compensation at US Airways

Don't be surprised if US Airways' employee unions have some comment next week on a document the airline filed late today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Form 8-K, which can be found on the investor relations portion of usairways.com, outlines the company's executive compensation plan. Once you plow through the verbiage, you see what the bosses get if the company meets certain financial performance targets. This is a normal exercise in corporate America, including at companies where the employees have taken pay cuts while they were operating in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Happy reading!
