As it relates to the formula for calculating your retirement pay (2%) X (longevity) X (average of 5 highest pay years)
Thanks!
short answer is no. It used to be that way because all full time employees were under the same pension plan as pilots. That is not the case anymore, they have a DC plan only now. If you "transferred" to the line you would be a new employee in the CBA protected DB plan.
