UPS gets 12% of pay up to IRS limits as a company contribution to our B plan. We have a 401k as well. On the defined benefit side we have a 1% A plan which actually pays out based on a flat rate table of 3000 per year. #0 years=90k a year pension plus all of your cash accounts.

You mentioned UAL, they have a 401k plus a B plan of 15%

Retirement plans are not dead in this industry by a long shot
