Dear Mark, I do not know how I have missed
your attempts to get us back our retirement via petition however I am very
interested and hope it is not too late to sign the petition. I am a
member of DP3 in good standing and hopefully you and they are acting as a team
in this effort.
Sincerely, Bill Easterlin
Editor: Thanks Bill. Sometimes we need to be reminded that many of
our PCN members have busy lives and cannot always stay engaged with every
issue. I thank you for coming to the
party. Again, the petition is still open
so it can still receive signatures.
Please know that the goal had been reached and the petition has been printed
and delivered to our targets. The
consistent and persistent effort to gain a meeting to discuss a remedy is now
underway.

Retired Delta
Pilots Want Pensions Back
A
former Delta Air Lines senior captain has launched a petition trying to convince the reorganized
company to reinstate pensions that were terminated when the airline first filed
for bankruptcy eight years ago. Robert Moser was among about 3,500 retired
pilots whose pensions were cut by 80 percent or more when they were assumed by
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. Northwest Airlines filed for bankruptcy on
the same day as Delta but the company did not ask for the pension plan to be
terminated. Now that the two airlines have merged, Moser says there's a
terrible injustice in that the reorganized airline continues to fund the
pensions of the Northwest retirees while the long-term employees who were at
Delta long before the merger are left without. "The very pilot group that
helped place Delta in an extraordinary business position to capitalize on
recent big moves, are the same ones that have disproportionately suffered the
biggest hit during and after the re-organization," Moser says in the
petition preamble.Moser noted that pensions are not a "gift" from the company to retirees but include years of deferred income paid by the employees to provide income in retirement. Moser said those most affected by the situation retired between 2002 and 2007 when the retirement age for pilots went to 65 from 60. Like many of the others, Moser has taken jobs at foreign airlines to support himself and his family in the absence of the pension. He's currently a Boeing 777 instructor for an Asian airline. "My workdays are long, my commute is 15 hours each way, and I subject my body to 14 time zones every three weeks," Moser said. "And, I am better off than most of the 3500 retirees because I am still working and earning a few dollars."

The Petition
has been compiled and delivered to our targets but it will remain open for anyone to read, see and sign. Feel free to point or visit the site:
Three quick comments:
1. There WAS an unfair injustice! Some have asked for some proof of
the harm that DAL Retired Pilots incurred so click here to see it
first hand: http://the3500.homestead.com/Proof_of_Harm.pdf
2. Will this work? Capt Moser is using the petition as the first step
in a multi faceted strategy to gain a meeting to discuss these
issues. Admittedly it is a long shot. Since the cause is just and
doing right is always good, why not give him our support?
3. Is my info safe? Absolutely!
Note: Use different computers for other family members.
