Any time a company wants a taxpayer loan, grant or bailout, the entire executive team should be required to take a 25%, 50% or 75% pay cut (from all income: salary, benefits, stock options, bonuses), depending on the size of the bailout. After all, this is an admission that this company is not able to stand on its own feet, and the bailout is a slap in the face to all well-managed companies who don't come to government begging for help. In the case of Bombardier, for whom this is part of the corporate culture, the entire management team and board should be required to resign, each and every time they come for a bailout. The Brazilians are fully entitled to grumble about fair competition given this kind of government-oligarchy organization.
