No, I can't. Years ago APA was smart enough to develop a split A/B plan retirement, whereas DAL and USAir all went with a straight A plan. Big mistake, and kudo's to APA back then.

What my statement talked about was current pay rates. And I'd caution against being too smug with a retirement benefit that is a promise to pay. Stuff happens, and those promises can evaporate pretty quickly; including the one I now have from the PBGC.
