Ahh, nice! You sound just like Eric Newman in the SLI hearings. And you guys call Delta pilots arrogant....

Ours had the same provision. Better take another math class, Carl. That may have been true with the old pension funding rules, you know the ones that mandated realistic interest rates for funding (our plan was less than 6%). But with the stretched out funding provisions of 8.85%, it isn't close to a wash.
You still never answered the question (you've been successful in diverting the first half to pensions). What are you (and all NWA pilots) going to do to help ensure a high number of NWA pilots don't steal from all of us?
Golly, shucks, there's nothing "Carl" can do about it.....but the Delta guys haven't learned that yet....
