The problem is that 3 or 4 years is not 3 or 4 years. I have 15 left (to 65). I'll betcha dollars to doughnuts that the second bite wouldn't take effect until I am on the way out. And even if it did, it wouldn't be significant enough to make the wait worthwhile. Like Carl said, your perspective is that of a newbie... Your pension loss was zilch. telling double deadzoners to be patient and to wait is hardly going to be met with zeal. We are going on year 10? of our bankruptcy contract. When is the payoff?
