+1. I also got polled about a week ago with a specific question about both how well I understood Min Balance, and whether I supported it. It is clear the company is balking (shocker), and the MEC is gauging the Temperature of the water to sacrifice MB for a deal.

/break, break/

Don’t forget, these MB benefiting DZers had 5 more years to work (60>65) than anybody thought when Bankruptcy happened and DB’s were stolen.

The VEOP pulled the rug out on any chance of MB actually happening. The demographic remaining is fairly small minority of the list.

And finally, I also have concerns over the windfall some pilots would get with the MB over pilots who hand the unfortunate bad luck to retire one day too early. What to those pilots get? Why should we “make whole” pilots 15+ years later when so many have retired without it? Sorry…
