Some things should have been sacred and A-plans/pension was one of those things.
Instead, ALPA folded like a house of cards and without so much as a whimper. But hey... they did score a big win later and they "took it back" when they agreed to support raising the retirement age to 65 so they "can have a say in how it's implemented..."
And you wanna talk about crooks?
ALPA sucks.
But the bankruptcy system has turned into an ATM for Mgmt.
If some company goes bankrupt, mgmt has failed. They should not be collecting tens of millions each-as they screw employees, creditors, investors, and everyone else who put that money at their disposal.
Incompence and failure should not result in more money than any of us would see in 10 lifetimes
