Disagree completely about the stated value added to pension on TA1 and also the effects of an age increase. If you delay taking the current A plan for a year after retirement, I think you get an 8% increase for each year delayed. I'm willing to bet the NC and company are using age 60 retirement in their value added numbers. Seems to me that simply changing the age should result in significant pension gains.

The current B plan has a form of cola by being tied the IRS number. If we have 2 plans going forward, there will have to be some type of inflation adjustment for those remaining on the A plan because the B plan has one. You can't leave those of us with 10+ years to go with the same cap as someone retiring next year.

I'm not saying this is a perfect solution, but the gains are bigger than you are making them out to be. I'm for whatever gives everyone on property gains and instead of just those leaving in the next few years.
