[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 982015, member: 24302"] You've apparently got a short memory. The economy was smoking hot until the summer of 2008. Granted, it was a house of cards, but that wasn't public knowledge until it came tumbling down. And again, the announcement was in early, January I believe, 2007. The planning for it had to happen earlier than that. By the time the termination happened, newhires had been under the new Portable Pension Plan for some years. THAT was the solution to curbing future costs. Terminating the traditional pension had much more to do with paying for the buyout. Why give us more on the pension when we were going to take it early anyways? Hey, we can argue this until we are blue in the face but at this point all I want is to qualify for it and go. They'd be smart to let guys like me qualify anyways. Never know when another plugged up artery might happen. And if they're going to do it please make it soon. [/QUOTE]
