I came from a regional, had other potential options. The A-plan/B-plan hybrid was a large factor, as well as the deadheading/deviation, and no passengers/wanting to try something different.
I have 30 years left and I wish to Keep the A-plan. As mentioned, having to go out on medical leave will kill your b-plan contributions.
I really like the hybrid options we have now and wish to keep it that way.
