In striking contrast with American CEOs like those at the “Big Three” auto manufacturers, Japan Airlines’ CEO takes the bus to work, has his desk in the “bullpen” with the rest of the employees and slashed his salary to below that of his pilots (he’s currently paid about US$90,000):

Good on him for remembering his employees and REALLY doing whatever it takes for the good of the company. The big three bosses do the bare minimum and expect a pot of gold.
Sacrifices must be made when the company isn’t doing well but unfortunately in North America, it’s the workers who are sacrificed well before the big bosses.
