For the FedEx crowd --
VEBA is not just for those retiring in the next 5 years, it's for everyone. That's why every pilot on the property needs to contribute.
(Fact- It was only for those age 53 or older when the CBA was signed)

VEBA was/is for every pilot on the property.
I'm not saying that's fair. I'm just trying to straighten out your facts.

Sounded stupid at the time
Shortly after the Delta/Western merger was announced, we shared a van with a WAL crew and their Captain warned: "Watch out for Grinstein. He thinks that mainline shouldn't operate anything smaller than a 757."
We thought that was absurd --- then.

VEBA is taking from the poor to give to the rich. Those that retire soon only had to pay in a couple of years to get the benefit.
New guys will pay in for 20+ yrs to get the same benefit, if it's still there. Does this qualify as hidden money? Sounds like the social security ponzi scheme to me.
Thank you BC.
