Speaking as one of the millions who have never had a pension plan -- and
never will -- $45K per year for sitting around the house sounds pretty
danged good.

You seem to think a pension is some kind of welfare.
It's money you arranged to have taken out of your paycheck, to save up
for retirement.

No it isn't. Pension money is fully funded by thr corporation. Nobody at
United has lost a penny of their own money. 401K and similar programs are
not pensions.

You know...a "personal account."

And the "sitting around" part is supposed to be the retirement they
worked for all those years. They were wrong to plan for that?

Planning your retirement on pension money being available is foolhardy.

One of us seems to be failing to understand something..

I believe it is you.
