Please share.

UPDATE: Per the UAL ALPA Q2 2018 contract comparison guide both Hawaiian and JetBlue contribute 'excess DC plan contributions' to their retirement health accounts. The only difference, according to this chart, is that we pay $1 an hour, and they don't.

As someone in your position, who is making so much that they reach their max 401k limit, without contributing $1, I find it difficult to see the issue with placing the excess in a tax free account to be used for medical expenses. Are you saying you would rather pay taxes on this money and NOT have money growing untaxed?
