Airline boss takes 20% pay cut in penance for drunk JAL pilot
A drunk pilot has just cost the president of Japan Airlines 20% of his salary for a few months. Taking responsibility for the errant cockpit crew member, the top executive at the carrier, Yuji Akasaka, will take home less pay December through February, while Toshinori Shin, a senior managing executive officer, will have his reduced by 10%. Both of them had already voluntarily given up a part of their salaries for November. The pilot, who showed up for duty to fly the London-Tokyo route Oct 28, was found to have consumed excessive alcohol, following which he was handed a 10-month sentence in the UK. Japan Airlines apologised for the embarrassing incident and announced corrective measures, including better awareness and training for all its employees. <br/>
