At the bottom, there is this note-
SouthWest also has a top hat plan that allows pilots to defer a portion of their compensation to be paid out at a later time. Participation is optional.
Now, take that statement with a grain of salt.. it's part of the Delta Compensation Comparison and it could contain errors. It's happened before.
But it doubles down 757Driver (Independent Contractor.. LOL) question about giving us a choice vs. UALinIAH answer that it's all or none.
Again, it's IMPORTANT to have these discussions now.. and while some may not like it, oh well.

If the IRS changes its stance I’d love for people to have options, but the majority of this pilot group will not have more than they need in retirement forced (it’s only forced for regular pay after IRS MAX of 280k).
We are a union. In the UAL I was bought into 25 yrs ago we took care of our own and did what was best for the majority. The majority of the pilot group will benefit from any tax benefit our union can find.
PS I never said I was a member of the R&I committee. I said read what they wrote and posted the above link. I’m done with the thread.
757Driver I am sorry I made it personal. I took it personal and shouldn’t have. You have an opinion as do I. I am jealous that you have over 100k already in the RHA since I have nowhere near that amount and I have forced as much as possible every year. Good luck in getting your extra money as long as it doesn’t cost the rest of us the ability to save for our retirement in the one and only tax free in/growth/withdrawal vehicle available for retirement.
