We are negotiating a whole contract....very few data points are isolated. Most "gets" for one group are paid (or at least no gain)for by another section of the pilot group (straight line % increases in pay is the biggest outlier)
For example the simple proposal of greater DC contribution....sounds easy-peasy right?
Well, if you hit the 415c limit....you don't get PS on that DC excess....thus young guys are happy....old guys are not "just break even", they actually lose money
Are you saying that a greater company contribution to your retirement account hurts you?
You’ll have to break this one down, I’m not following your logic. DC contributions don’t draw PS just the same as DPSP payments. Your account would max sooner and you would get a larger check sooner. Where is the penalty?
