Another blow was struck to all of you folks that actually work for a living and are of the mistaken hopes that somebody in the government will give a fuck about you when your azz is gnarled and grizzled and can no longer punch the clock.

Atlanta based Delta Airlines has filed a motion in federal court to terminate the pension plans for all of its pilots. Delta’s argument to the fed’s is that they will face an operational crisis if they have to continue to fund this program that has approximately 13,000 participants. Delta also has pension plans with their flight attendents (sky hos) and ground staff (neggars). I secretly wonder if this is Delta’s way of punishing all their pilots that had sex with the hooker cum stewardess(I know, same job) who is writing that tell all book from her days as a Delta flight attendant.

The fucked up thing is that I like Delta way better than bootlegg azz AirTran. At least Delta doesn’t overbook their flights and they let you drink your whole can of soda. AirTran gives you a paper Dixie cup of sugar water and a piece of stale street pretzyl from a NYC hot dog cart.

Delta is banking on Congress to reform the pension legislation that allows employers a buffer period to make the contributions to their employees. If the Senate and the President don’t fall in line with the airlines Delta may have to saddle the U.S. taxpayer with their pilot’s pensions and benefits. Sounds like some more Silverado Enron Iraqi Reaganomics.

RONALD REAGAN is like the TUPAC SHAKUR of U.S. fiscal policy. He hasn’t been president for almost twenty years, but he is still dropping interest rates like TUPAC drops new albums.
