High flying pay

Gina Marie Lindsay, the new executive director of Los Angeles World Airports will be paid $305,015 a year, the maximum allowed under the City Charter, under an action by the city Airport Commission.

Lindsey was hired to succeed Lydia Kennard, who left in January to become chief executive of a new aviation-related real estate company.

Lindsey served as managing director of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for 11 years.
