That way, when I retire, I can delay my "Benefit Commencement Date" for almost a year. That, will increase my A-plan benefit, which will help make up for not negotiating an increase in the A-Plan in the contract. I learned all this at one of our retirement seminars. Awesome!!
Sorry, if you catch something from me.
This actually isn't funny. This very thing happened to me almost a year ago. I got sick after the trip and got my wife and 2 of my kids sick. Was down for almost a week with a terrible cold. I'll never fly with a sick person again. Just sad when I have to draw that line. You'd expect a little more from a professional.
