Click on: Inside the Story of United's Bankruptcy - "The baby boomer generation is headed for a shock as it hits retirement: many of them will be long on life expectancy but short on savings."

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.
