[quote user="schlimm"]Whatever metric is used, it does appear that CEO's of the Big 4 (& KCS) seem over-compensated,...[/quote] There seems to be some disagreement here over whether or not salaries are dictated by market forces.  If they are not, then they are just an arbitrary number.  And if that is the case, how can one make any determination as to whether the number is proper? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> But regardless of whether a salary number is arbitrary or is decided by market forces, I do not see any basis for someone other than the receiver or payer to conclude that the salary number is too high.  There is no point in an outsider being concerned about an executive’s salary unless that outsider wishes to be empowered through a government edict that purports to keep salaries fair.  To me, that is the 600-pound-gorilla of the original poster’s question that this thread is dancing around.   If you take away the gorilla, I am not sure what the point is.
