Delta retirees

will suffer from a strike

I am a 61-year-old retired

Delta station manager who is now a Methodist pastor. I worked for Delta

from May 1959 to November 1993.

I remember how Delta personnel

worked together through Eastern Airlines strikes, and how we were happy

we did not have those problems. But let me give you a more personal touch

to how myself and all other retirees may suffer as a result of a strike

against Delta.

My retirement pay is supposed

to be guaranteed already on deposit. But my insurance (health) is not.

I have had six heart attacks

and am walking around because the Lord still has a use for me, and, because

of good health insurance. This strike could literally result in the death

of thousands if we lose the ability to get adequate treatment.

Real goal for any employee/person

should be fair pay, fair benefits ("fair" is debatable). Test

is not to hurt others who have far less.
