We can all thank the SWA, JetBlues and AirTran etc for this. At the time the only guys making money off real cheep tickets were the guys with no pension obligations. So, guess where our band of thieves wanted to go...........
My targeting number is below the basic DAL South DC right now. I would have come out better just dumping the targeting plan as part of the joint contract. Did not get any credit for furlough time for the targeting so my number is based on early retirement at age 60 even though the retirement age was changed to 65 just after that. My targeting was going to increase in the later years of the plan, just beyond the point where it is going to "Sunset" and be discontinued. Oh well, I guess timing is everything...
Not trying to whine or start anything, just pointing out that some of us did not get the "great deal" that people think we did.
