Here's an offer. 50$ to your Favorite Charity if you are correct, that the Traditional Plan with the Same YOS and Same FAE Floating Earnings cap is Inferior to the VB's 2% floor.

YOU supply 26 years of projected Salary and projected IRS Caps. I will enter them into a Spreadsheet. And Again, my Expectation that the Traditional High 5 will return a greater Pension.
Make the Upgrade as Aggressive as you want. WB FO as a newhire, NB Capt Year 2, WB Capt year 4. Whatever Numbers You want to Supply, I will be Happy to Input.


Nice Catch on the salary. Turns out there's a big difference between .03 & .03%
Not that I expect you to Understand the difference.
