NWA's Cohen: $4.1 million exit

Last update: May 16, 2008 - 10:59 PM

Neal Cohen, one of the top five executives at Northwest Airlines, will leave the company in mid-June with an exit package valued at about $4.1 million, the carrier said Friday in a regulatory filing.

Cohen, an executive vice president overseeing the airline's strategy, international business and regional carriers, will receive cash severance payments of $1.36 million and units of restricted stock valued at around $2 million.

Cohen, 48, worked at Northwest from 1991 to 2000, and then rejoined the carrier in May 2005.

He will depart from Northwest with $795,000 in pension benefits and about $21,000 in air travel benefits.
