Yep. And shows that us wanting higher payrates sooner is because of that if looking from a retirement standpoint.
And for me, being older but not super old when hired, I'll never see the 350 or all but maybe the plug at 62 on the 330. So getting something in that band or the band right below is the best I can do, and I plan off that.
7ER is likely as far as the train goes for me, so I got earliest NBA upgrade and then went back to 7ERA when my 320A lock was up.
The guys who had a $5M+ 401k balance at 60, (they were 7ERA when I was 7ERB) that "can't afford to retire" and were still demanding pension restoration 20 years later made me scratch my head.
