A group of retired Delta pilots have been fighting for the right to be involved in the pension benefits dispute. A few months ago they got a ruling that they could sue over pensions. They have been at odds with the current pilot group, the company, and the PBGC at one time or another. I have heard they are satisfied with the agreement reached last week but have not verified that. My point is that retired pilots are fighting for the pensions they earned and some will
not be successful. Most of these folks will be working because they have to and will not be giving their paychecks to the company.
