of my pay under this company plan. Will the company plan be continued if the Pilots' System is established?

A. There is nothing in the proposed Air Line Pilots' Retirement Act which would require an air line company to continue or discontinue or modify or refrain from modifying a retirement system; on the contrary, there is a specific provision that nothing in the act is to be construed as restricting payments of annuities, pensions or lump sums or as terminating any arrangement created for that purpose. The air line company will be quite as free to continue, modify, terminate or amend its plan as it would be without a Pilots' System in operation.
