FYI pensions are real property in a marriage and if one party decides to take his her share by this method there is not much anybody can say/do. When i first read this about a year ago i figured this would be the out come. In this day and age to let a company to decide what is a divorce not going to go too far . Hope the folks get their jobs back.

Is management allowed to not pay you your full pay check or 401k match? Why are they allowed to underfund a pension? |

i wonder how it is that guys like EWRBASEDPILOT thinks they have the right evaluate someones marriage and personal life? How do u get off or are u just one of those guys that love rumors and think they are fact? I wonder how much u know about ERISA and how that protects you and your rights. You need to get educated on the importance of ERISA and why it was established. One reason it was established to is protect emoloyees from company bullies.

Where are you getting this information? Their fellow pilots are getting screwed. That money is for retirement purposes, NOT sham divorces. Seriously, do you REALLY think 8 "friends" would ALL be getting divorces AT THE SAME TIME, getting their lump sums, giving it to their wives, and then ALL of the getting back together at the same time isn't just a "little" bit fishy? It's a sham and they all deserve to go to jail, plain and simple. Personally I hope their greed and stupidity puts them in the poor house.:mad:

Really? This is interesting. Where do u get your facts? |
If, in fact, they ACTUALLY went to the courthouse and were legally divorced, then I don't think anyone has much to complain about. It doesn't matter why they were divorced. There is nothing in the law that prevents a divorced couple from re-uniting. Now if they only CLAIMED to be divorced, without getting the paperwork signed by the judge, then they go to prison.
They found and exercized a loophole--much like some claim management finds and exercizes scope loopholes all the time. I'd be more worried about a Contempt of Court citiation. I'll bet that, during their divorce proceedings, the judge asked them point blank something like, "Is there any chance of this marriage being reconciled?" to which they probably answered, "No." (Which wasn't "the whole truth" as they were sworn to.) That might be perjury, or at least contempt. I don't know too many judges that like being lied to in their courtroom... |
Nice, companies can get sham bankruptcy's to hose its employees. They use loopholes in union contracts to jerk them around. Just sounds like a little poo flinging back in thier direction using their own tactics against them. Not so fun on the other side, huh Continental?
