I hear UPS is going for 200K in their flat dollar pension.
If, as JG says, we have a flat dollar plan designed to force the middle to migrate out of the A plan, and it is allegedly fixed forever, then why are the bottom and new hires not also included in the plan?
UPS is all on the same plan, and they are hiring, and have good scope too... I get that he is self interested in his A plan bump. Would he accept a one time payout akin to the average duration of the A plan after retirement? This is not an option in the survey I gather?
