Ed,

I believe that we should scrutinize the testimony given by Glenn Tilton, last Tuesday.  I did not get to see it in its entirety.  However, the portion that I witnessed showed, in my opinion, Tilton to be extraordinarily vague and non specific as well as providing answers that were riddled with blatant perjury.  He demonstrated his single focused goal of killing our pensions, while refusing to consider any alternatives, as they developed. In fact, it appeared reasonably clear that he would not partake in any legislative relief that may develop in the future, for the purpose of saving the pensions.   I remember Tilton stating to the associated press that UAL had restructured to the extent that they would be able to exit bankruptcy without ATSB assistance, prior to final denial.  Within weeks, he followed this statement and ATSB denial with his attack on the pensions.  This is his MO to which he adheres as he unjustifiably and maliciously attacks the pensions.  Would it make sense for all of us to scutinize his testimony, if we can get a tape, and document the perjury for the purpose of demonstrating the real story behind our problem. 

Sincerely, Frank Ernst
