Finally have to chime in after reading all the pros and cons about a "new and improved" plan for you guys. The fact that Fedex is willing to talk about changing your A plan retirement (which is damn good) outside of contract negotiations should be a big warning flag.
Why would management do this unless there is a distinct benefit to them in the long term? I know if ups wanted to talk about ANYTHING outside of contract negotiations, they would have a definite benefit we have that they want.

I have heard from reliable sources that the company offered to up the high five to $300K and the union said no. Why????
Night I don't know who your source is, but I personally know members of the negotiating comm and the MEC during the last negotiations and also a friend who was on the company side and that is completely false. The company never offered that or most likely ever will. You may have some good points, but you shouldn't be spreading false information.

I'm a Fx bus guy with 18yrs on the property and hardly ever post on here, but seriously, is this pilot group actually considering giving up our rock solid A-Fund in exchange for a variable annuity? WTF, IS THIS UNION OUT OF THEIR FRIGGIN MIND??????? If this turd gets sugar coated and pushed through by the union, we will officially go down as the all time dumbest pilot group in the history of aviation.
Do not scrap the company A-plan, push to increase the limits instead OR add other vehicles to complement the whole retirement portfolio in meaningful ways!!!
