As documented in a recent ALPA letter to all U pilot''s, the terminated pilot pension plan will provide 850 million in savings of which 580 million will go to pension increase funding for all other labor groups. The remaining 260 million will be pocketed by the company, most likely to be used to purchase RJ''s for the U commuters which will be flying routes and passengers that were once flown by U mainline pilot''s who are now in the unemployment line. The U pilot furlough goes to 14 years seniority and compromises 30+ % of the total pilot count. NO other airline comes close to this percent ! Among the majors, 12 % is about the highest ! ALPA has stepped up to the plate over and over again. We have already taken one large hit on the pension. This is the FINAL STRAW !!! You take away our pension and WE PARK ''EM !!! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Bronner !!!
