I'd like to also ask for a "cola" to the PBGC benefit and the NWA FAE retirement plan...sounds reasonable....OBTW that COLA should be retroactive to when the plans were frozen....sounds reasonable also?
Thoughts???
Buck,
I have no idea what it would cost...I don't have access to DAL or ALPA numbers on historical numbers of IA's or GS, or how money DAL much paid for vacations back when everyone had an extra week, but pay rates were less back then too.
Trips and vacation: dropped with pay protection...just like FedEx has. I would ask for it to apply to all weeks just like FedEx.
The PBGC is a government agency (I know you know that), you will have to address PBGC COLA with your elected representatives in Congress.
COLA...sure.
Retro...no.
