The pension bump was a waste of negotiating capital. We only get 1/3 of what the company puts in. If the company valued the pension increase at $1.5 billion, the pilot group only gets $500 million.

Keep the A plan as is, even for new hires.
Increase the B fund with cash over cap.
Give the senior dudes a bonus to retire.
