Captain ( or a bypassed Captain) - $3,000 times years and months of service credits accrued by the crewmember (not to exceed thirty (30) years).
First officer - $2,400 times years and months of service credits accrued by the crewmember (not to exceed thirty (30) years). So for those who never upgrade a 20% hit.
Note - if you're an FO for 18 years and captain for 1 week or so, you get the captain pension for the whole duration of your employment. So you need to be a captain for 1+ day to get the captain pension. (at least that's my understanding?)
That seems like an unusual pension/A-Fund. Most airlines with pensions take the highest 5 consecutive years, and plug in the formula (multiplier x years of service) to arrive at the pension benefit. So a pilot having a high 5 average of $200K/yr. would get the same benefit regardless of whether they were a Capt. or FO.
