And anyone who thinks that every or even most people laid off in this economic environment will simply walk into a new job in short order that is anywhere near comparable hasn't been paying attention to the real world.
If he worked for 35 years, then he's eligible for full DB pension.

@70K year, 3% inflation, for 15 years that's about $835K in PV...

Did he save $835000 when he worked?
