He wants an MBCP with a min balance of $300,000 plus the 18% DC. Preferably, he'd like $2 million, because what's what he thinks the company stole from him, and wants the "juniors" as they call everyone on chitchat to pay for it, because "we owe him". Like the rest of the boomers, he's part of the greed, entitlement, and victimization generation.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Actually a lot of us were working other crappy jobs and are stuck there during bankruptcy and after for a long time with age 65.

To me a deadzoner is someone who retired after the pension termination, but before the retirement age was raised to 65 (they were forced out at 60). The real deadzoners were all gone by 2007.

This is the correct answer and mainly applies to UAL and USAir pilots.

Add to it then, "JamesBond" (easily identifiable after all of his pompous self doxxing in the name of bragging) isn't the only self appointed deadzoner who feels his fellow pilots owe him a retirement after his own group voted it away. There's lots of them left. But only for 5-10 more years... then the rest of us can move on and they can circle jerk right wing politics on CC with the other retirees who just can't let go.
