Yes, this variable plan has an opportunity to increase our DB payout over $130K, but it also has the possibility of paying out less than $130K. It all depends on the market and whether or not you got hired at the right time or not. Ask the MEC if there will be a guaranteed floor on DB payout, such as $145K for life, regardless of market performance.
