Absolutely no DB’s. Give us money into a 401k and let us control our money.

Lower premiums than what? The DPMP has the highest premiums of any plan available to pilots.

I actually have a bite issue that is wearing away my teeth away over time. I'd be forced to pay 100% with HSA, or I could get DPMP and MAYBE get $1k-$3k of it covered (see annual limits, not just lifetime of $3k). Problem is, the high premiums of the DPMP had me losing way more than I'd be gaining. Our healthcare bennies really are the opposite of industry leading for pilots.

These posters really show what management thinks of their below wing employees. What would a low education male do with $700 bucks? Let me tell you what you can do with YOUR money: Play more video games, watch more football and drink more beer with your bros. No respect.
IMO this isn't just about DL ramper pay. It's about the layoff->rehire to DGS they do every so often to reset pay. Gotta stay "nimble" in this competitive landscape.
