....just an observation (and no disprespect to SR71), but it seems nearly no one on this forum can spell the word 'lose' properly (almost always mispelled as 'loose').....
Either way, the employees of Delta, United, NW...and probably in the end CO and AA, have been cheated out of their rightful pension benefits. If I was a pilot at AA or CO, I would take early retirement and get out your lump-sums now. Unfortunately, wishful thinking will prevail and most will wait until it's too late. Funny how predictable human nature is.
