Years later, some new jackass comes along, wrecks the company and walks
off
with a $1.5 million guaranteed pension after a trivial amount of time.
Meanwhile, the pilots, flight attendants and everybody else who MADE
UNITED
WHAT IT WAS are screwed out of their contracted pension.


Not to diminish what has happened at United, but it was reported on NPR that
United pensioners are guaranteed their pensions, up to $45K annually.

Speaking as one of the millions who have never had a pension plan -- and
never will -- $45K per year for sitting around the house sounds pretty
danged good.

Of course, that pension will now be paid out by We, the People, instead of
They, the Stockholders...
