A quarter century to be the plug on a narrowbody? THIS was far more devastating to our careers than losing the pension.
My pension was valued at over $1 million. I have to disagree with that. We do need to have all DAL flying done by DAL pilots period, but the loss of the DB plan was significant for the top third of the list. Those that are coming on board now are going to do very well with the DC plan we have in place, especially if the numbers % wise increase.
