Let's get one thing straight for UAL pilots, THE COMPANY IS NOT CONTRIBUTING ANYTHING!!!
Your 401K monies are a part of a negotiated pay package and are not given to you by the Company in any form or way. You earned them as part of your hourly pay package.
The dollars in your 401K are there because your ALPA Reps negotiated them for you and you earned them. It is not a gift!!!!
