I don't think management was sitting around a boardroom table trying to figure out what to do about he retirements. And "tons of employees collecting retirement benefits"... What exactly do you mean besides the employees taking what was in their 401k plan? Did Comair have some defined benefit program that was only for those with membership in the secret society?
