Ya, and we should have been more careful with Pearl Harbor and 9-11. You can't guard against what you don't know.:(

Comparing any of our retirement situations to "most people's" should indeed put this in perspective. Many Delta pilots got eff'd and then recovered nicely. A staggering percentage of humanity lives in a continual state of "eff'd" and won't ever recover... although they'll definitely maintain their "quality of life" until their death!

How would you like that? It’s pretty much the same thing as losing a DB pension. In both cases that is money you earned. The only difference is DB versus DC.

What are you trying to accomplish here? Our sympathy isn't going to get you back the money you were promised. We know what happened and want nothing to do with deferred compensation or agreements to pay us in the future.

Reading this thread combined with recent threads on FB and the New MEC Chair RS's recent letter, one thing is clear, the Delta Pilot Civil War is here.

Looks like I deleted it from my email and I can't find a link on the DALPA site. Hopefully someone will chime in with a copy

Before slamming the door, they all ask “What is this ‘pencil’ thing used for?” :p
