In 2010-2019, our union prioritized pay rates, work rules and scope AND the economic environment was not nearly as good as it is now. Now our union is prioritizing retirement (partial)restoration AND we are coming off 5+ Billion in annual profits for the past 5 years. Now is the time to try and recoup the losses that fell on the retirees of the last(future)10+ years. Why can't you support restoring some retirement funds for the pilots who can't take advantage of increased DC percentages??? And yes, I would support "paying recent retiree's as well.

With 1,000 retiring in 2021, the math is easy. If 1,000 pilots get a day one bonus of half a million (even if pad out over five years at 100k/yr), then that cost for that year is half a billion.

A winning strategy would be to highlight the aspect of this plan which provide a tax-deferred vehicle for excess DPSP cash.

That vehicle is completely undefinable. I’m not willing to accept deferred compensation in an account that doesn’t have investment choice or participation choice. This isn’t answered and apparently can’t be answered until after the fact, locking us into something that we have no idea what the structure will be.

At the end of the day everyone should be looking at total return. There are numerous assets, even ones that are tax advantaged, a pilot can invest DPSP Cash in that is highly likely to have total after tax returns far superior to a MBCBP.

If it was taxes deferred and under our control that's one thing. Tax deferred + loss of control + 5% targeted return=Losing strategy

Don’t worry! After we said we didn’t want the MBCBP, they added the word “optional” so we are all set! It’s not like they could just change their mind at the end when the IRS says it’s mandatory participation.

DALPA needed to release as much info as they could on this plan as early as possible. Even if they achieved something close to their goals, it still is a toxic issue and would have created a lot of single issue voters. At least with the details out there and if they will do “honest” polling or surveys on this single issue, they can potentially revise the plan or strategy going forward.
There is probably a way to overhaul our retirement strategy where as one group doesn’t feel like they are being shafted, but can you imagine if we are at the end game, yet in a continuous holding pattern waiting on this potentially toxic issue to be agreed to? An issue if successful could actually be the issue that causes the TA to fail?
