I would have to ask my family member that used to work in UAL MX what they got in the BK as a retirement plan. If it was JUST LIKE THE PILOTS and they canned the DB and went to different method. Although I can't remember if that was round 1 or round 2. I'd think it was in round 2, but just can't remember.
But that link is only a snippet of what was talked about.
Who's to say they AREN'T asking for a healthy 401k/DC like the pilots got PLUS a DB plan?
It's NOT just Dubinski that had the balls to shoot for the moon ya know..........
Along the lines of what "Regularguy" said, could just be part of the negotiation process.
