There are no onging funding obligations for pilot retirement at Delta. The plan has been terminated. The estimated funding obligations for the NWA plan are about 20 to 30 million a year using a 6.5% rate of return on current cash in the plan. If you have a down year in the market that could jump to 50 million or more in those years. If the market has a great year the obligations could be less.
