Do you have the guts to answer those questions? Or would you just rather lob the "overpaid" bomb into the works as most liberals and class envy types do? And while we're at it.
What should a flight attendant be paid annualy?
What should a 35 year flight attendant pension be annually?
Inquiring minds want to know your opinion of what an employee is worth.

Mrplanes has a major point here. LABOR DOES NOT LIQUIDATE AIRLINES AND LABOR DID NOT LIQUIDATE EASTERN!
This issue of DPP terminations is NOT just an USAirways ALPA deal....IT IS AN ACROSS THE BOARD ALPA PILOT situation. Probably more like an across the board Nation wide pension issue with co.s that have always dreamed of ridding their companies of the DPP.
If U's pilots cannot prevent a termination, THEN every airline who has defined pensions that go underfunded with their pilots WILL ATTEMPT TO TERMINATE.
The pilots here at U are dealing with the entire "kitten kaboodle". Freezing a pension is what many bankrupt chaper 11 companies do. Those who do not emerge from BK, terminate; those who emerge "freeze".
Again, this co. will not Liquidate. period.
Let the pilots do their thing!
And Bob, I still love ya, so don't beat me up.
