Total All Other Compensation

And here's the detailed explanation in its Proxy for three of the above four largest items:

(a) Company Savings Restoration Plan Match: 

Reflects amounts credited under the Company's Savings Restoration Plan (“SRP”). The SRP provides a benefit in an amount equal to the Company's matching contribution that the executive would have received under the terms of the Company's 401(k) plan but for Internal Revenue Code limits.


(b) Insurance Premiums: 

Reflects the premium paid on behalf of the executive under the ELG life insurance program. Under this program, the Company pays the premiums on a permanent cash value life insurance contract owned by the executive under which the executive receives a life insurance benefit equal to three times his or her projected base salary at age 62. If vested (age 55 or older with five years of service as an ELG member), the executive receives a post-retirement life insurance benefit equal to two times base salary.

(c) Cash Flexible Perquisite Allowances: 

The annual ELG perquisite allowance (which equals 5% of base salary) after deducting the amount shown in the Leased Vehicle Payments Category.

======================================
 
United Technologies gets a very significant part of its Revenues and Earnings from the US Government.

When you review the above extravagant compensation numbers.....$70 mil of Total Compensation for the three years.....do you think that the US has a problem with economic fairness between the very wealthy and everyone else?

And the Business Roundtable wants to delay first eligibility for both Social Security and Medicare Benefits to Age 70.  Give me a break!
