The pilots did try to improve the pension on every contract and the MEC and NC sold them out. And you do know contributing to a 401K is optional and maybe not every pilot has a FAT 401k. You have the same earning and saving potential as every pilot here. Some day you'll be in a position to retire and the things that mean the most to you will undoubtably be different then than now. And there are many pilots who didn't work extra during the past two years. With your all about me attitude I can see you'd be willing to sell out the junior guys when you retire. And then, you'll have junior guys ****ed at you and your FAT 401K.
