The payroll tax savings to the company at that level is minimal, should just be 1.45% for Medicare. Most everything else should have been paid to the cap. So it’s not like they have this huge savings to split with us.
It seems you love this plan and really want it. So maybe spend your time pressuring ALPA to actually be honest about the “optional” nature of the plan and commit to abandoning it if it’s mandatory. If they actually did that then most of us arguing against the MBCBP would back off.
I don’t love this plan. But there is no way in hell the company will up our dc to 25% without a vehicle such as this. I’m just being realistic. And still waiting for someone to sell a better product that is feasible other than pay me a ton more and I’ll invest it myself.
Hey eh that sounds great. I’m all for that approach that we will never get.
