The money saved by Fedex from every pilot that works after age 60 has got to be HUGE. Their response, give us even more back in a watered down retirement benefit. We should be pounding this fact every time this "giveback" is even broached. We should be getting this money back. If we are going to work longer and collect less in retirement, how about putting the savings in my wallet, NOW

If every pilot gives up 5 years of retirement benefits the savings is in the billions.
