DISC: Holding
As a former overseas executive the way I see it is this:
The disconnect with CEO salaries here is the idea that you have to try to match overseas (given what your size will allow) not to get the B team. The reality is if you are an A team executive you tend to stay and making it it in North America until you have creamed enough and then go do something else or come home and retire. Same deal for investment bankers.
The pay in the US is higher as a result of scale yet also underlies the key expectation you will not last long at the top table and often your career will be disrupted or potentially over after you exit. They think they have to match for "talent" here however the accountability on stakeholder performance here is easier and as a consequence executive roles generally last longer. People work here because they want to do the work and remuneration is secondary or they want to make the money they would not have been able to continue to make/or make overseas in a larger pond. The catch and why a lot of very good executives would never work here is the goal fish bowl of a small country/economy.
If you have the high profile in the US it tends to follow you make so much money that you can live separate from the public, not so easy here.
The Airline industry is booming... like a construction boom some companies are going to crash through the rate of change and their ability to attract and adapt. Air Asia X does not have a captive market except bargain hunters..not a good place to be.
Neither of these articles concerning me in the context of AIR.
Its getting into that zone where it is likely to hold above $2 ex divi. It wouldn't surprise me for buyers to come in at that level and we could be back in the $2.20's within a few weeks.
