Adlerdriver, That is exactly what the company wants us to believe, there by giving us pennies on the dollar of any buyout to a full B fund.
If I remember right they only offered an 18-19%B fund if we dropped the A Plan. Good thing someone can do math because the company cannot. Would take almost 38% to replace our current B fund and A plan, plus cash over cap and tax replacement.
DKozak, I do not remember the part of we are OK with the A fund dying on the vine. Ok we did not get a bump this time, maybe we can on the next contract or get a bump in the B Fund again. By the way, ask yourself, how much do you have in your B fund or anticipate having in it when you retire? That is a pretty good inflationary hedge plus the A fund $130K a year
