Imagine for a moment it's 2008, and you are about to retire. Except... your 401K that you are talking about is cut in half, or more. That "retirement income" you saved up for all those years, wiped out by an economic downturn.
What now? Just keep working?

Comparing the two statements at the same time, his and yours, I would agree with him.
9E far from sucks. It was never intended to be, and it will never be, close to the legacies for pay. Heck, it doesn't even hold a candle to B6 for pay, other than first year.

Yes. It will rebound. But if you were 65 in 2008, and your account is now back to where it was in 2006, you had to work an additional 11 years while waiting to sit back and relax. Oh, but I mean real work, not being a pilot sitting on your throne.
All hail the mighty 401k. (Sarcasm)

Yup. The supreme court decided that pensions under plan A can be robbed from you at any time and 401k is a silver metal. Work an extra few years (at walmart if you have to) because the 401k will supposedly eventually rebound the 50% you lost, like today, and your retirement is restored.

What's your alternative? The extra wages dumped into a CD or savings? What about every United guy who lost their whole pension in 2003? Those guys dont even get half. They get nada. They can't even kick it at Burgerking until the market rebounds.
