Admittedly, I don’t believe the company will agree to reindex the cap to 1999 equivalent rates or the current full IRS cap; however; I do believe they’d be open to tweeks in the cap that could be indexed to other pay metrics, and extended YOS multipliers

Combining such tweeks with B fund improvements can avoid almost all of the negative aspects associated with the “freeze DB / restart with VB” course we seemed to be locked into

Doesn’t our radar have a wider beam width?
I am of the opinion that improvements to the A Plan are too expensive just like ALPA said during the last negotiations. I think money spent to improve it would be better spent elsewhere. I could be wrong, I could be right. We have the data, share it.
