You know the DC plan must be saving them a bundle, heck, it's based on 15% of our 16 year old pay rates!

Much of what was required to restore the funding was provided via the various pots of money and the PBGC. You would have to run a spreadsheet for each pilot and add the MPP plan, note cash and PBGC money to determine what each pilot actually lost from the frozen plan. In my case It looks like at age 60 I will have lost about 25% give or take a bit. If I add in the claim money it gets better however officially that cash was to help offset the pay cuts so I don't include it. Many pilots are saying they have been made whole. I did not make the best investment choices so am down.
