The company just sent out an email explaining this. The company will not make any contributions to either your B Fund or your MBCBP once you exceed the specified IRS limits each year.
Essentially, we will be selling the A Plan for our new hires for 11%. Previous, ALPA estimates on the value of our A plan were 20-24%. The company is getting a GREAT Deal moving forward.
None of that matters to the pilot who is furloughed while our freight is contracted out.
