It's just a tragedy. I didn't know that companies are not actually required to fully found pension plans. A ticking time bomb which united experience firsthand.

Yep. There outta be a law.

Seriously: Congress should make it a legal requirement that companies fully fund their pension programs. What United and Delta are getting away with is criminal. Or at least immoral.
