Same year as you. And no, it was a chair, everything isn't some conspiracy. Rocking vs not could mean a million different things. Try this: you were supposed to be comfortable during the interview which was a stressful situation. Doesn't that sound a lot more likely? As for the DB I lost a bunch as well and wasn't happy. It was 40 something % funded when it got dumped and as bad as I hate to admit it there wasn't much fight to be put up. I was more upset by the huge stock buybacks and lack of fuel hedging when gas was cheap that preceded BK. I thought a shortfall in pension funding was clearly gonna happen. At least the note and claim were substantial (in my case) and the fact they weren't counted as pension replacement monies increased our PBGC claim. Ancient history at this point. C15 negotiations are underway and we are discussing... a chair? OFG
