Amen brother. My grandfather, who was my inspiration to become an aviator, was an employee for 40 years. Sadly, a couple of years after he retired, they went bankrupt and he lost his retirement through them. I never once heard him complain though, he went right back to work and spent another 20 years working as a mechanic for our local Ford dealership. He was the best mechanic I ever knew. Man I miss him.
I've got a few good pictures of his days working for Pan Am. I'll see if I can find them when I get home and I'll post them up. He loved talking about the old Clippers. He also lost quite a few friends on those planes. It's a shame none survived into the present day.
