In 2012 that DC plan funding will be directly affected by the funding for the NWA Pension Plan even though this group has no financial eligibility for that plan.
The DC plan for all other pilots on the property, including new hires, is 2010-10%, 2011-11%, 2012-12%. The PMNW pilots hired after September 1, 2007 are esssentially getting 3% less in their DC than new hires and get no MP3 and are not eligible for the NWA Pension Plan and Excess Plan.
Maybe alfa can do a better job of explaining this.
This was a substitute resolution. The one it replaced was the Council 66 resolution to recall one of the the three existing members. If you prefer that one you can reintroduce it at your next LEC meeting.
Again if you read the resolution, the maker wants the gate agents to honor the pilots seniority when assigning seats. Not everyone knows how to check in online, believe it or not, and boarding usually starts prior to the 30 minute point. The resolution said nothing about changing the check-in time for pay.
Can't help you with this one.
Thank you for explaining the DC contribution thing to everyone. I find it very frustrating because I'm one of these 200 guys affected and very few pilots know about this. I truly hope this passes.
