Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We have no choice now but to plan for a strike at some point soon. We're tired of subsidizing mismanagement that predates the 9/11 tragedy. United is not only destroying our livelihoods, but our retirement security. With the acquiescence of the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, United is digging into taxpayers' pockets to pay for management's long history of under-funding pension plans, even in better economic times, and failing to adapt to changes in the airline industry."
