Bottom line, save your own money for yourself. That is what all of us 30-somethings will be relying on in 30+ years. Doubtful that FDX will end up where the legacy carriers did, but that A-fund is sure not in my name.
And will there be a B-fund anyway....once they change that retirement to 65? I see it fizzling away. It defeats the purpose if pilots can then retire at 65. There is no need for that bridge. I am probably missing some details here...please enlighten me if necessary.
There is absolutely NO calculation for my own retirement that includes an A or B fund allowance.
However, I completely agree that we must continue to work to increase A and B fund benefits....and not give up.
