圣路易斯拟把机场局长年薪上限从20.8万美元提至65万美元
密苏里州圣路易斯（St. Louis），市议会一个委员会10月29日通过一项提案，拟将圣路易斯兰伯特国际机场局长的年薪上限由目前的208,000美元提高至650,000美元，以招揽合适人选领导机场即将开展的数十亿美元航站楼整合项目。相关消息10月31日见报。
机场局长职位自上一任局长8月退休后已空缺约两个月。提案已由市议会立法委员会放行，接下来将交由市议会全体会议作最终审议，尚未成为正式法令。
兰伯特国际机场是圣路易斯地区最重要的航空枢纽，航站楼整合项目规模庞大，对新任局长的项目管理与融资能力要求很高。市议会方面认为，现行上限难以在全国范围内竞争到具备大型机场管理经验的人选，提高上限是为机场长远发展作出的调整。最终表决结果与招聘时间表仍待全体会议决定。
St. Louis Committee Backs Raising Airport Director Salary Cap From $208,000 to $650,000
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — A City Council committee voted October 29 to advance a proposal raising the salary cap for the director of St. Louis Lambert International Airport from $208,000 to $650,000, aiming to recruit a leader for the airport's planned multibillion-dollar terminal consolidation program. The proposal was reported October 31.
The director's post has been vacant for about two months, since the previous director retired in August. The measure has cleared the council's legislative committee and now goes to the full Board of Aldermen for a final vote; it is not yet law.
Lambert is the St. Louis region's principal air hub, and the terminal consolidation is a project of unusual scale, demanding strong project-management and financing skills. Supporters on the council argue the current cap cannot compete nationally for candidates with large-airport experience, and that raising it is an investment in the airport's future. The final vote and the hiring timeline remain to be decided.
