Neither FH nor PG understand the time value of money. That's a certainty. It's a diminishing commodity/benefit. Looking at alternative solutions is appropriate but the TA as is ... represents mediocrity.
A full buyout of the A plan for each pilot gives me today's dollars ... That coupled with a significantly enhanced B plan - I'm interested. You might not be.
If you want to go down with the A plan sinking ship of diminished value based on COLA, then that should be your choice.
It's not BS nor is it foolishness. They are options based on intelligence and reality. But feel free to beat your chest and yell at the top of your lungs - once you disappear under the waves ... no one will hear you.
Isn't FH retired? Man I hope I've got better things to do in retirement than hang out here.
