The B fund cap (at least when I talk about it) is the 54K (I think, 56 if over 50) limit on max contributions for 401K and B Plan limits. I am not sure what your contract allows for 401K contributions so I can't answer what your real B fund cap is. I do know that B fund contributions don't stop when you hit 260K of income but when you hit the IRS limit.

I got the 50 K by adding up the difference between 8 and 12% over the first 10 years of employment at our respective companies. It is just a wag probably low. But like I said we will have guys on 3rd year pay making 200+ an hour, that will even out the 8% vs 12% pretty quickly.

Not a pi$$ing contest, Your TA is probably a good one. Best of luck however you vote. Ours contract did not make anyone happy, but it is not as bad as some would let on.
