I don’t blame you for wanting MB. Truly. But you can’t blame the vast majority of the list balking at “taking care” of a small remainder of pilots 17 years later who had 5 extra years of peak-earning work. Especially when the pilots who retired 1 day short get nothing.
It’s not going to happen. The votes walked out the door with the VEOP. And we are adding 200 post-probationary pilots a month who as (mostly) don’t want it.
Those same deadzoners however choose to provide a roughly equal retirement to junior pilots by heavily targeting the then new DC plan and plusing all pilots up to a minimum 205,000 FAE for note distribution. The company wanted a flat 9% DC. The calculations were also based on 9% going forward. The increase to 16% heavily favors those with the most time left.
