Retirement and the airlines...

[infiniti757]

Has anyone seen this Online episode of Frontline. It gives a pretty interesting perspective on bankruptcy and the new paradigms of retirement, with a focus on United.

Wow...the bankruptcy law firm representing UAL made $100,000,000.00....yes that's 100 million dollars!! And all other fees added up to a sum of $400,000,000.00.

So the employees take pay cuts, need to work more, pay more for health care and lose their pensions.....but the law firms and banks make millions, guess plenty of people benefit from a company going bankrupt except for the guys and gals who actually save the airline...the employees!!!

Superpilot,
I think that's the best avatar I have ever seen on these boards. Yes I know it's not a real picture but a man can dream. And I will.
