Overall, the retirement offer for your TA is pretty bad.
It kills me how people get on here and post something as if it is a fact and they know what they're talking about. There is no requirement to speak. If you say nothing, nobody will even know you're dumb...except maybe your mom but she'll keep lying to you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the company will contribute 200% for the first 5% employee contribution. So for a $200k pilot:

$200k at 5% = $10000
200% of $10000 = $20000

That's the max. If said pilot contributes 10%, still gets $20k.

This is correct.

Unbelievable that we've devoted 2 pages of this thread to this.

Seemed pretty simple to me but reading all this made me wonder if I was missing something. Good to know I'm not the one that has to take math 101 over again.

"With respect to each employee who elects to make employee elective deferral contributions, the Company will pay a matching contribution into the Pilot’s 401(k) account on a two hundred percent (200%) basis up to the first five percent (5%) of such employee’s pay."

This could be up for interpretation depending on how you read it. "Up to", to me could be considered no more than...if up to 5% is the max the employer would contribute 200%, then we would only be matched on a max of 2.5%. Maybe...

All I'm saying is the fact that it could be interpreted either way is no Bueno!

Up to means, you contribute 1%, they give you 2%. You contribute 2%, they give you 4%. This continues UP TO 5%.

I hope that's the case! But to say the language makes it impossible to interpret it the other way is incorrect.

I would feel more comfortable if the last word of this section was contribution and not pay.

Kinda begs the question of why they don't just do it the way most of the other airlines do it and just put a straight 10% over and above your pay into a 401K account in the pilots name.

Is the match designed to save a few coins on the backs of the junior pilots who might even find contributing 5% a bit confining at the beginning of their career, hence the company is off the hook completely?
