It was a few weeks back when my uncle awoke and showered, preparing for yet another day at Alaska’s Oakland Airport facility. So far, he’d avoided the economic flu that had afflicted millions of other Americans.
He maintained a modest salary working in a managerial capacity for Alaska Airlines. His position would provide excellent retirement benefits so long as he stayed for a certain period of time (around fifteen years).
Alaska, like most large corporate entities, had attracted my uncle through their generous pension plans, which would reap excellent and hard earned rewards if he stayed with company for a certain period of time. Based on this reliance, my uncle chose Alaska over other airline companies.
Before his employment with Alaska, he served twenty years in the U.S. Air Force, servicing cargo planes on the flight line. Given his superb credentials, Alaska hired him. For over twelve years my uncle was the faithful servant of a corporate giant.
