We also worked few hours in 2013.then SW and earned more credit. One JoBerg trip on a GS could pay over 20 grand for 3 days.
So, in using the 15% contribution allocated to one's retirement, on the surface, you seem to be advocating that those funds are liquid usable dollars today, which they are/were never intended to be. That 15% contribution is/was intended to replace one's 65% FAE retirement pension, and is woefully inadequate even for that. WRT the G/S 3-day JoBerg trip, how does that work in the 717 or the -88 driver's situation? We continue to work under a concessionary contract. If we don't fix our contract under these current economic conditions, what is the point of paying our dues to DALPA?
