For the others, figure out a fair formula and do a cash buy-out, which is then rolled over into an IRA/401K. Then replace the A-plan with a very large B-plan. I for one would rather have a cash value prgram instead of a future promise.
Fire away.
Won't work. FedEx pilots die early and often. Those that survive to a decent age make a ton but are fewer than you think.
No way the company will trade the good deal they have on the A plan with all the early deaths for an expense buyout.
Sorry
