No pension increase for you!

[luvthe9]

Dear Fellow Pilot:

The House approved the pension overhaul bill, but at the last minute the Republican's took out the Akaka amendment, which would have raised the PBGC pilot age 60 retirement from about $29,000 to $45, 000 per year.

Regards,

Had enough of the Republicans yet? They are not a friend to labor or any American.
They want to outsource every American job to foreign countries, those that they can't outsource they want to bring in "guest workers".
They've killed thousands of our best young Americans(and 10,000+ Iraqis)in two wars.
They've bankrupted the US Treasury.
They've made college much more expensive for Americans while less expensive for "guest workers".
And the list goes on...

Meanwhile,
Halliburton is making record profits.
Defense contractors are making record profits.
Big oil is making 10's of billions per quarter(Your pay and benefit givebacks).
Big medicine is making record profits.
Big insurance is making record profits...

Are you better off now than you were six years ago?

W the worst.

Well said..."If see one more of those stupid "W" stickers in rear car windows, somebodies going to get hurt!! I would be ashamed to say I voted for this bozo...we are getting what we deserve!! I saw a "F" the President sticker the other day...it was beautiful!! Somebody voted for him...I'm getting use to climbing interest rates and gas going up 10 cents a gallon every night!!! Thank goodness he CAN'T run again...or we would be stupid enough to vote him in again....Go ahead all you Republicans...tell us how great he is! You've been listening to Hannity and Rush way to long!

a320av8r, that so true. I agree with you on that. Aint no one can make a living these days. That pension should have been increased because the pilots dont have a choice but to retire at 60. either raise it or let pilots fly till 65 if health permits.

there is another bumper sticker i had see the other week and it read:
No soldier died when Clinton lied

Get out and vote in November, and get those Republican bums out.

And please if anything gets accomplished in PA, get rid of Santorum! He wouldn't even have a discussion about the U pensions when we were in BK.

The best T-shirt I saw, was a picture of Elder Bush with him saying " I should have pulled out!"

Santorum...poor little RICH kid from a local Pittsburgh community (Mt. Lebo). Think he would have helped U when he could...the rich get richer. Can't wait to get my $29,000 per year retirement. How much did Halliburton make??...just a bunch of SLIME!!

 

[a320av8r]

You won't get that much. We get about 27 because it goes by when the pension was terminated. No cost of living adjustment. Maybe that can go to pay for medical since the company leaves us high-and-dry and Medicare isn't available until 62 1/2.
Thanks Republicans...
Six more months until W is a lame duck!
REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

And do not forget...he stabbed the PIT and PHL MEC reps in the back during LOA 93 talks....the reps from bases from his OWN state. Greeter.

Is that a bumper sticker? If it isn't, it should be.

You can't get Medicare till you're 65 unless you have certain disabilities.

One of my buddy's dad was a yellow dog Democrat. When my buddy got of voting age, he told his dad he was considering voting Republican. The reply was immortal!

"Son, you ain't rich enough to vote Republican."

And with pilots finding out they ain't rich enough either, the bar is set pretty freakin' high. :down:

a320av8r - well said!

Dell - hold onto that picture - I'm guessing that's what Rove will look like in a few more months.
