Default FDX..Your 4a2b savings hard at work

Does this mean we get free tickets for the money we paid during 4a2b?


FedEx would pay conference $10M to add Memphis, report says - CFB News - FOX Sports on MSN

Quote from the article..."FedEx recently severed its ties after 21 years as a sponsor of the Orange Bowl. That could have freed up the money FedEx is talking about spending as an incentive to get a BCS conference to take Memphis, a source told CBSSports.com."

I can't believe that ALL of the FEDEX workers who missed out on their $500 401K match this year would have been too happy about this news either.

Default 401(k)

I thought the 401(k) match had been reinstated....a year or more ago.

Actually, it was earlier this year. Feb IIRC. And it's not $500. That's only for us pilots, as spelled out in the CBA. The rest of the company gives 100% match for the 1st 1% of salary, and 50% match on the next 5% of salary. So if an employee takes out at least 6% of their salary, the company kicks in 3.5%. It doesn't get above $500 until the employee has earned more than $14285 for the year. Obviously, if you make a lot, the match can be fairly big. My SO's match for last year (if the company hadn't cancelled it,) would have been over $1500.

Fred would be better off shopping his son around to a true BCS team, and offer some serious scholarship money to let him play.

Is he any good? Not that it matters if there are millions backing him up, but I'm just curious how good he is at QB and if anybody saw him play in HS?
