The Titanic executives may not be worried about their impending job loss if they: have golden parachutes.

The golden parachutes

Explanation:

As the name suggests a Golden Parachute is an aid given to the employees at the time of emergency which in this case will be sudden termination of their employment.

Therefore, golden parachute is considered as an agreement which says that at the time of termination from employment the employee will receive several benefits.

Which can be anything that the employer wants. It could be bonus, severance pay, stocks etc. Therefore, in this question the executives are not worries because they have golden parachutes.
