Are you kidding me - the Negotiating Committee is so out of touch with what we want as a crew force. They think they know what is best for us. Does the survey question "whatever the mechanism" ring any bells?
That Negotiating Committee comm was pathetic - tell us what you are negotiating fo and stop being so cryptic if you truly want us behind what you are doing.
I was specifically told by a ALPA Rep that they do not like "cash over cap" because they do not see it as a retirement mechanism. If you can spend that money on a boat or plane and it is not tax advantaged like a 401K then it is not a retirement plan. They don't trust you to save it so they will serve you pancakes instead.
