I'm surprised the company just doesn't offer to double the pension benefit (as long as they kept the survivor benefit the same). It wouldn't cost them much. I would like to see the actuarial numbers, but supposedly 40% of us medical out or die before retirement. We retire at an average age of 62, only collecting our pensions for about two years, until we die at the average age of 64. If these numbers are true, seems like they aren't paying our pensions for very long, it would be cheap to increase them.
