Default RA has mortals at his disposal

http://news.delta.com/images//Merger_RichardOnCNBC_10-30-2008_07.06.29.wmv

If you start at the 1:40 mark, RA says at the 1:50 point that Delta has mortals at their disposal. Bwaaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......

Yes, I'm easily entertained. And bored. Why do you ask???

Just thought we might want something light to enter the weekend with, instead of feuding and fretting about SLI's, furloughs, and super premium jumbo turbo-prop flying.

Happy Halloween!

Yeah - I like how he basically said Delta pilots are SOL when it comes to their pension. - BCD

Not sure if it all has to do with the Dems???? I think it has to do more at the board levels of corp. America regardless of what political views they have.

Pensions all but gone and now companies want to stop the 401k's and pay us less... who do they think will have any money to buy their products in the future?

Sorry, but I am tired of helping out people who have golden parachutes and make millions because they feel entitled to it

I think what ACL65Pilot was referring to were the hearings last week in Congress about taking American's 401K's and rolling them into Social Security, spreading the wealth. Essentiantly the goverment takes your 401K money, puts it into SS where everyone can tap into. Then you are guaranteed so much once you hit 65 ... that is, assuming there's anything left.
