US Airways CEO: Management must 'share pain' of wage cuts After asking its employees for millions in wage concessions, US Airways' management must also submit to pay cuts if the carrier is to stay in business, CEO David Siegel said. "American workers cannot continue to voluntarily suffer in order to prop up failing executives," he said "Those executives need to share the pain at US Airways, if this airline is going to survive. Only time will tell if management is ready to make the same sacrifices it is asking from its workers to save the airline." The carrier announced earlier this week that it would seek ways to further trim costs as it hopes to emerge from bankruptcy protection in the first quarter of next year. US Airways is also proposing to cut an additional 2,500 jobs. That prompted the president of the airline's flight attendants union to suggest management cut their own pay before asking other workers for more concessions.
