Okay, if the Teamster DB plans are such a great idea, why hasn't the industry gone in that direction?
Why hasn't ALPA convinced the Legacy masses that it's a better idea than a 401k contribution?
The core issue is trust. (At least with the 401k, I can hold the idiot in charge accountable.)
Nobody would trust management with their retirement anymore, and I doubt you'll find a huge groundswell willing to turn it over to the Teamsters, either. But I'm willing to listen to a cogent argument, although perhaps you might have more impact on the 1224 forum so we know who's talking.

But I should listen to you?
