Japan Airlines execs pay cut over cabin crew misconduct
19 Jun
Summary
- CEO's pay cut by 30% for two months following crew misconduct.
- Two executives face 20% pay reduction for one month.
- Misconduct involved cabin crew drinking before a flight.
Japan Airlines' CEO, Mitsuko Tottori, will temporarily reduce her monthly compensation by 30% for two months. This measure follows an "extremely serious management failure" involving two cabin crew members who consumed alcohol before a flight, violating company policy.
Two executives overseeing safety and cabin operations will face a 20% pay cut for one month. Additionally, all other directors and executive officers will have their pay reduced by 10% for the same period. One cabin attendant was terminated, and the other suspended.
This practice of executive pay cuts in response to misconduct by lower-level employees is a notable aspect of Japanese corporate culture, demonstrating accountability and a commitment to organizational reform and strengthened oversight.
