I see the value in a larger B plan at this point in my career. But 130K ‘til ‘ya die is a heck of a lot of money.
With all that said, if our union has figured out a way to make this a better benefit—I’m all ears, no matter how skeptical my ears may be...I’ll listen.
I think we should all be willing to listen. If someone had told me my pension would be 130 till I died 30 years ago I would have thought I could live like a Kennedy heir. I certainly am willing to listen, but when dealing with ALPA and the company, sometimes what you don’t hear is just as educational as what you do hear.
