What I would propose goes counter to what The Company would propose. The Nogotiating Committee has not been shy in admitting the SLB is designed to keep pilots flying. I want to ease their transition to retirement.

What I propose is simple. Raise the FAE cap to twice the IRS Benefit limit, and index it to that from here out. Instead of a 1-time lump sum that they have to break their backs for, they enjoy a lifetime of retirement benefits, benefits they have already broken their backs for.
