Star-Telegram: Delta'S Vote Against Unionizing Should Make American Airlines Stop And Think

[eolesen]

Ok, management, why would you say its nonsensical that most of the money to the Pension fund goes to those two groups?

Executives make up probably around 100 execs or widows (45-50 living, plus perhaps 50 retired) out of a total of some 80,000 active and retired employees covered the plan.

100/80000 = 0.00125

If you really believe that just over 1/1000th of the population is getting most the money, you need to go do a voluntary piss check at Medical.

Pilots probably do make up a larger share, but IIRC, don't they have a second fund to protect the portion of their pensions which exceeds the PBGC guaranteed amount?
