It’s funny that trying to provide all pilots with a roughly equal retirement is divisive. The senior pilots did the right thing for the junior guys during the bankruptcy era by using a targeted DC plan, plusing up all pilots to a 205,000 FAE and providing a minimum length of service credit. Now that the DC contribution has soared and those junior pilots look to have a much better retirement than senior guys they don’t seem to want to reciprocate.
