Get Real, if the city privatized rescue runs those pension costs wouldn't just magically disappear. The city would still be on the hook for all benefits (remaining sick, vacation etc) and would still have to pay out pensions to those in the current system. Not to mention the city would still be taking on all of these costs while paying a private company to operate rescue runs. The city would also be paying the remaining members of the WFD who were not assigned to work rescue runs, so that cost would not just disappear either. It's a great talking point and some might even buy into it but in reality I don't think it will save that much money in the long run.
