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...

Yep. Corporate welfare, and never a demand for accountability.

You guys suppose that if a General destroyed his entire brigade or
division,
they'd give him a $1.5 million dollar pension and let it go?

Let's not forget that it is these employees who are largely responsible
for
running the company into the ground. CEOs come and go, but the employees
ran
it from day to day. They made unreasonable demands in bad faith, sometimes
threatening to strike if the pot was not sweetened even more. In the end,
the company was entirely owned by the employees. They hired the CEO. They
fired him. They decided how much he should be paid. Now whose fault was
that?

You got that right. I don't know of too many people that feel sorry for
United employees other than United employees. They went to the till too
many times and now they get to suffer the consequences.
