I agree, retirement planning is not an individual's responsibility. When my social security check doesnt show up 30 years from now ill be asking your grand kids to feed me instead because "i was counting on that".

We really only have one that does this. But it only takes one when your douche-meter is as pegged as this guy. Carl |

It was PG....ahem! |
The Conquistador of the PA's FO: "What's an A-7?"
The Conquistador of the PA's FO: "So those twenty something year old girls you were getting at the Officers Club, is it weird they're now 50?" The Conquistador of the PA's FO: "Can I make the PA now? Please? Thanks! Good evening ladies and gentleman from the flight deck I'd like to thank you for chosing Delta Air Lines and welcome you aboard your flight to Newark. We'll be ontime in Newark, mostly smooth flight, windy and cloudy once we get there and 45 degrees. Thanks again for choosing Delta Air Lines. Good night y'all." |

Add to it the fact that they will, like us have to pay for medical insurance in whole at some point during their retirement. They are doing what is best for their families. You will too. Point the finger at who is truly responsible for where this career has gone, and then work to change it, but do not knife your fellow DAL pilots in the back.
A divided group fails. |

Think of it this way. Are you saving a significantly greater portion of your earnings outside of your 401k or DAL retirement plans? Those could be taken at some point by the government to fund everyone's retirement. You scoff and laugh and say it will never happens; that I am nuts. That is my point, that is exactly what most who lost their pensions said. Some were paranoid or smarter than the rest but the majority thought that their retirement planning was the pension. Now faced with a few million dollar shortfall(the market has not performed well since the payout)they have to work. I am sure most (besides dal88)would rather be doing something else past 60. |
