You're comparing a pre-9/11 pension to the decimation that occurred after it. Brilliant argument!
Yeah, those guys got out while it was still a great thing. What say you about the Delta guys looking at a sub-$1K a month pension who also have little or no time to make up for their lost "guaranteed" retirement income?
Pensions aren't guaranteed unless you work for the government (sadly). The retirement paradigm has been shifting away from pensions in the private sector for decades. Time to embrace it and make gains in the DC and/or other retirement vehicles, including healthcare. Afterall, what's the point of having a great retirement income if most of it will go towards healthcare?
