Interesting articles about Boeing in the Nov. 7 Reporter, but it leaves a big question mark.

Why don’t the long past retirees get COLA in their pension checks?

We – including myself since 1992 – have living expenses that have risen with community prices going higher. But we still have the same amount of pension without raises.

After all, it is, and was, the retirees who made Boeing prosperous in the first place. And to add to this, those who retired and received pensions who passed away, their money is no longer sent out. So, kick in a little of that amount to give the living retirees COLA.
