For the first time in about 10 years, we get a peek into the compensation of the top lawyer at Atlanta’s airline—Delta EVP and chief legal officer Peter Carter, who follows closely on Boone Tillman’s heels.

With total cash comp of $1,327,938—a $500,000 salary and $827,938 in nonequity incentives—Carter ranked No. 13 among the highest paid Southern legal executives named in 2017 proxy filings. Like Boone Tillman, Carter also received about $1.9 million in stock awards last year, but, unlike the Aflac legal boss, he also brought in another $637,602 in options.
