Randall Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Delta to dump pension plans Letter from Delta CEO says that bankrupt airline will terminate pilots' pension plan Monday, effective Sept. 2; federal pension agency could take biggest hit ever if other Delta plans follow suit. By Chris Isidore, CNNMoney senior writer June 16, 2006: 5:59 PM EDT NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Delta Air Lines will move to terminate its pilot pension plans Monday, attempting to shift responsibility for the future benefits to the federal agency that guarantees such payments. The decision, which was not unexpected, was announced in a letter from Delta CEO Gerald Grinstein to Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., Friday. Delta intends the termination of the plan to take effect Sept. 2. LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I thought we all concluded a while back that the pilots were greedy mother f*ckers who deserved to be fired and replaced for striking. I'm sure you could hire an illegal Mexican guest worker to fly a 727 16 hours a day for like $23,500.00 a year with no benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I'm glad my taxes are now paying previously guaranteed pensions so unprofitable companies can continue doing crappy business instead of innovating. That's the American way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Haven't flown Delta in years but the last time I did they HELD a connecting flight for me (and others on our plane) when our flight from Dayton to Atlanta was held up by weather. I will always be grateful for whoever made that decision that night. Doesn't sound like it was these dooooooshbags, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
