I'll probably clear a PS check of at least $40 grand for this year (paid Feb 14, 2024). Also, since it's pensionable, I'll get 17% added to my 401k.
Assuming the current projections hold (both greater economy and company projections), next year's PS check for the same work will easily be $60k+, plus 401k.

Maybe I don't understand your work rules?
I will blend in the Profit Sharing and how lucrative that is for the "Boomers"(those who want to somewhat maximize pay) and the DC match and pretty soon were are talking real money even at 777/350 FO payrates.
Look at page 51 of the contract comparison at upa23.com to see what might be in store for your new profit sharing formula if you haven't already. I'll reiterate.....pay wise, I think this will pay off in spades for all UAL pilots re PS
If UAL would have matched Delta's for contract re reserves, there might not have been a need for "forced capt upgrades". Who knows, after ratification there might not either. We'll see how that pans out over the ensuing couple of vacancy bids after/if it gets MEMRAT. It's not like on a percentage basis that many capt slots go unfilled.
