I am pretty sure they do as well. High fuel prices are here to stay, factor it into your ticket prices and be done with it. OK... Maybe not as simple as that.

I wasn't trying to compare fuel costs with executive salaries but just interested to know why no mention is made of executive salaries continuing to increase while the airlines profits are declining. Where is the justification in that? Surely you would tie in executive salaries with performance of airline and if it means that increasing fuel prices have eaten into profits then no increase or bonus to executive salaries.
