I would really like to hear him talk about that "improve" the A plan, because that screams of more "age based carve outs" to me...more than we already have in this TA. The age 54 stuff is complete BS and we should NEVER do anything again based on age. I can personally live with this one because they actually have to do something to get it as opposed to just being born on a certain date. Thinking that you can have a cutoff were people are literally one day apart in age and that is the dividing line between "you have time to make money in the B and the guy one day older does not" is the problem with those plans based on age. I would ask him what his minimum cap would be and does that apply to all FedEx pilots, I am voting yes so I only care about his answer post TA failure so that it why I am not asking.
