Glad it will work out for you money bags.
So in 2015 you personally sacrificed all for those who would arrive after?

But in 2021, you decided "F them younguns, gimme a pension bump and fund it with industry lagging pay, split vote union, weak scope, and QOL gives?"

From 2015 to 2021 you went from saintly, altruistic saviour of future new-hires to FYIGM?

Who's "going after money for themselves" again?

Default Retirement quagmire

For retirement we are all in different places with regard to longevity, time remaining, pay grade, and progression (or lack thereof). So any plan to ease out of the current system would need to contain 25 different gradations of buyout or whatever the solution to make it fair. Dividing us into thirds or whatever is going to hose someone. But that was an acceptable goal to the old NC. Since we allow like a 9 year contract on property guys will probably end up retireing under one of those.

And is anyone else sick from the AC maintenance at AOC this week? Now my days off are ruined and I may be unfit for my trip next week. They were blowing moldy covid dust straight up my nose all week. Should insite to give data to JD offering us a middle finger.

I think everyone would agree, it is better to capture that full amount.

Keep the A plan as is, even for new hires.
Increase the B fund with cash over cap.
Give the senior dudes a bonus to retire.
Spot on brother this is by far the best solution

One of the issues with TA 1 was the NC and MEC never explained how much the increase in the A plan cost. Or how much we saved the company by sunsetting the A plan.

One of the issues with TA1 was that the NC and MEC gave up more scope flexibility to make it cheaper to outsource flying to other carriers… keep it going.

One of the issues with TA1 was that the NC and MEC signed off on pay rates that didn't even come close to covering inflation from our last "raise". But at least those pay rates came with an equally insulting "amendable period recovery payment".

Amen dude. Why does this not get talked about more. Keep the 130k and capture all the dollars of any retirement increase.

^^^^This is why we should have given up the A plan for new hires in 2015 for a larger A plan for those already on the property.

How will a larger B fund work out for those with less than 10 years until retirement go?

How much would you have to save to get a guaranteed $169,000 for life?

Given the plan mentioned above, the senior guys would be better off staying, getting medical insurance, making over $400,000 per year, taking 2.5 months off with vacation while whittling down their disability bank. Yeah, stagnation for another 4+ years will show them .
