If we can't make any changes to the A plan, and this TA gets voted in, then we are doing a disservice to the new hires. A new hire now with the same A plan in 25yrs is going to have what, a half or third of the purchasing power of the A plan value today? I don't think any new hire is going to be upset if they get a better B plan with potentially more value than a deflated A plan. This isn't separating the crew force when there is a reasonable explanation why there would be a different retirement option for new hires. This is not like B scale pay rates were there was a definite penalty for being junior.
