Sink,
Yes I do believe the rate is the same for all as of 2012.
Everyone,
Now, to be self serving as far as retirement goes 'cause "it's all about me," what about the 1000,s and I do mean 1000's of fDAL guys who lost hundreds of thousands of
already earned dollars EACH over the PBGC guarantee for retirement? To give you an example, I lost $50,000+ a year OVER the PBGC guarantee if I retired at age 60. This is what I had already earned in the now defunct DB plan. For those of you who will say the notes made up for it, you are sadly mistaken.
For all you young guys "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" if you get my drift!
