Not sure whether the A-plan will be frozen or terminated, but the B-plan will likely end up as an enhanced 401(k) (13-14%). Eagle's will likely go from 50-100% matching depending on longevity (up to 8%), to a flat 50% match up to 6-8%.

However bad at AA it gets, it's not realistic for Eagle to have better, which is the whole point. The career Eagle guy will be topped out at $80,000/year and break his back for that..........if that pilot stays for at least 15 years. One need only look at what the future for the AA pilots is to see what is likely to happen, across the board at AMR.
