For your consideration...
PS: Why does it label me as a "New Hire" Under what menu can I change that? TIA

Anyway, right from TN's lips, he wants to raise the retirement benefit of those who have already retired. Not the over 60 folks working in the back seat, but people who retired and are no longer on the payrol(and no longer paying union dues). I realize they definitely got a crappy A plan ,BUT, what are you willing to give up to give these non-dues paying guys a better quality of life? I'd be willing to consider it, but it would be pretty freakin' low on my wishlist.

Just to clear up "who you are", why don't you tell us how long you have been here.

Un-Freaking-Believable!!!!!! From a reliable source I have learned that the IPA EB is negotiating to increase the A-plan. That seems to be expected. But they are also trying to get the pensions for the guys who have already retired increased!!!! Many IPAers are supporting it by saying "We should expect nothing less than both." (referring to pay raised for line pilots and retired folks)
Is there anyone on here that supports this? How can you negotiate better pensions for already retired folks over correcting the FO slope!!! UPS FOs are making 43,000 a year LESS than their FedEx counterparts and our EB is discussing retiree pay. What a crock.

I tried to warn you about staying. You should have taken that class date at FredEX. Oh well you can always cry over spilled milk.

Anyone who has watched the last decade unfold and still believes in A plans is a fool. This is not just in the airlines, but in other industries as well-Ford and GM may ring a bell. Your choice is to accept an unsecured promise to pay in the future or money in your account now, this shouldn't even be a question for anyone here.
If the EB and UPS can try to negotiate A plan payments up, isn't it also likely they may try to negotiate them down at some point in the future?
