[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 981807, member: 24302"] Tenuous, eh? So when planning for these buyouts it was pointed out that, amazingly enough, terminating the pension in 2008 was going to save millions? What a happy coincidence!! As for my medical bill, it was denied twice and I received a bill for $7500. I mentioned it here, and suddenly Blue Cross decides to pay it, which cost them less than a third of what the hospital charged me. It would have been easy for FedEx to call them, even if they don't know my name, and ask them to pay for the stress test of a FedEx employee, most likely in Texas, who was recently denied. Who knows, but it turned out great for me. As for the DBPP, well, what do you expect? More and more are retiring, are you surprised that's happening? It was a benefit that was offered, certainly they had actuaries informing them of future trends. I will concede that times are tough, and most likely major changes are needed. But please don't make out like these changes are completely in response to the current economy. They started this when times were much better, and when times improve again they'll be positioned to make much more than the billion in annual savings the analysts pointed out. But it'll come at the expense of many thousands of faithful, hardworking employees who had their finances wrecked. [/QUOTE]
