It's one thing to see where the government benefit is going, it is quite another to see a db melt away in a few years after 20 years of service. The smart ones had about 750k in their 401k's and a few are millionaires, but the majority are not even close. Add to it the fact that they will, like us have to pay for medical insurance in whole at some point during their retirement. They are doing what is best for their families. You will too. Point the finger at who is truly responsible for where this career has gone, and then work to change it, but do not knife your fellow DAL pilots in the back.

A divided group fails.
