Are these numbers correct?
Yes, these are not "matches", they are defined contribution plans which means that DAL at least will put 15% in addition to your pay into a 401K type account. There is no match component, but you can put as much of your own pay into your 401K account as you want (up to the IRS limit) in addition.
I think FEDEX and UPS still have traditional pension plans in effect so they would be the place to go if pension is your #1 motivator.
