There are always gonna be downturns in this industry...right now, if I make 260k for 5 years and stay on property 25 years, I've got 130K at retirement. Will that be true with new proposed retirement?
Yea, the NC told me that they had stress tested this plan all the way back through the Great Depression and every year a pilot would have done better under the plan they are looking at. To me, that sounds to good to be true. You know what they say about that.
If they truly want to educate us, bring in someone who is against this type of plan and let them tell us why and then we can weigh the arguments ourselves.
Did they mention they talked to the company about this last week in the hub turn meeting?
