I think there's a measure of self-interest in renegotiating the contracts.

But as I said, I agree it's probably too late now.

I think there are a lot of industries where you see people taking pay cuts to keep companies solvent. It doesn't seem that unreasonable.
In the grand scheme of things, a bunch of people collecting bonuses that they initially negotiated for as part of their contract isn't going to bankrupt the economy.
