Maybe My Last Hoorah?
Many of you know that the petition and follow on
effort to gain and conduct a meeting with the company’s senior management over
the loss of retired Delta pilots terminated “non-qualified” benefits, occupied
many hours of work. My personal work
along-side Rob Moser, Scott Murray, Alan Price and a private valuable “circle”
of advisors was extensive. Quite
frankly, because of my early retirement situation at age 52, I really wasn’t
working for major improvement in my own situation but rather for other retired
pilots.
From the outset we had a number of overarching
guidelines that we lived within. We
tried our very best to take the “high road” and approach the ‘good’ men at
Delta as good men making a request for review of our situation to see if
our claims are true. As you know, suing
is difficult and threats and name-calling may temporarily make us feel better
but likely shorten the meeting considerably.
As you also know we were indeed successful in winning a meeting and of
course the result while maybe predictable was very disappointing and we failed
miserably to move the company. Meeting
with one of the chief architects of the nasty regarding our pension terminations,
on Nov. 12, 2013 with Mr. Kight, we couldn’t gain any agreement that a “nasty”
was even done. Concerning our claim of
disproportionate, inequitable and unfair treatment the company simply refused
to agree. Most all of you expected this
result. But we tried. And my work load to pull this off was
high. Now in the aftermath there is one
thing remaining that I wish to help make happen. I want
our story to get out! Therefore, we
need to get in the media with our published story.
This may be my last hoorah with this effort, but
I have assembled a media ready article and am starting to make it available to
the press. Here is the link to my
latest draft of “Is Your Retirement Safe?”:
Maybe you have connections to publishers and
maybe you can help us get this story published. If you do the draft is also
available as a Word document.
IS YOUR RETIREMENT SAFE?
