Additionally do you have any examples of people who have maxed out their 401k limits and also received defined benefit accounts? If so show us examples of your wisdom.
In the end I want the money in my control. Fool me once...

I think that is my overall point. A defined benefit plan is still coming out of my over all pay, no free money or lunch hiding here.

In the end this is just an exercise in jawing because no matter what you all negotiate in this coming contract it won’t help me.
Just seen too many promises vaporize legally and warn others that a $ in the hand is better than a promise at the end of the flight.
East bound promises on a west wound flight.
Good luck to you and achieving your financial goals.

The way I read it, He is still getting his 16% match.
He got assigned a week and had no plans to go anywhere on his vacation. He bids a high time line - minimize working for free. and then, after being awarded his line. move his vacation days around in the month to where he can add another trip.

This is from ALPA:
The Company does not make the 16% B/C fund contributions on the value of any days that are forfeited to your PRAP or RHA. Also, forfeited vacation days are not considered earnings for Profit Sharing payments. You may lose money by forfeiting days.

I use a couple of my vacation weeks every year that I get stuck with in months I don’t want to stick extra in my 401k. Just bid high time credit shuffle vacation days around you can get 110 plus hours credit easy, shove some in your 401k and you never even notice it. I had 3 115 hour months that I basically put $9000 total in my 401k and never saw a dent in my checks!
