PBP in 2015 was 10% which puts it at $24,249. This makes the total $299,373 which is greater than your $273k. If part of your 401k is company match (I remember reading somewhere it was 7.5% match), your figure would be even less. Ours was 13.5% straight up from the company. I just wanted to clear some things up.
Hey Knock squared, chill the f-out bro. You're going to stroke out behind the keyboard.
While 100/HR per month average might be doable I haven't seen it in the first 5 months this year and I'm a high time flier. Either way my post wasn't meant to be a d%#k measuring contest. It was simply refuting the assumption that VX benefited exponentially more with the merger and in doing so should take a hit with the SLI.
As I said, fighting amongst ourselves is a horrible waste of time. The SLI will be decided by the arbitrators and it will be what it will be.
Time to look to 2020 and focus on that...unless we have another JCBA before then.
