United Airlines' plan to terminate our Pension and replace it with a Defined Contribution Plan would cause two-thirds of us to lose over half of our pension benefit – affecting those who are furthest from retirement age the most. That would be devastating for us as Flight Attendants and destroy our career forever. That's why we are fighting so aggressively to save our pensions.

This video reviews the basic differences between a Defined Benefit Plan and a Defined Contribution Plan, a summary overview of our Flight Attendant Pension Plan and the impact of a pension termination for three of our flying partners from Denver, Philadelphia and Chicago in different age and seniority ranges.

These types of comparisons help us understand the value of our pension and the importance of our fight to save it, but no one should be under the impression that termination is a foregone conclusion. We can save our pensions and we will battle with everything we have to win that fight.
