Japan Airlines' CEO got a pay cut after worker misconduct. That's not so unusual in Japan.

Japan Airlines said its CEO and executives took pay cuts after misconduct by two cabin crew members, which the airline characterized as an "extremely serious management failure." The news is negative for management credibility and governance, but it appears limited in direct financial impact. Market reaction is likely to be modest unless further operational or regulatory consequences emerge.
