Hawkeye, I hope your right, That was my whole plan,

Retirement graph Question?
Can anyone explain the graph on page 6 of the retirement section? It is the one which adds a percentage to A Plan for guys over age 50 at DOS. First is the % correct? For example, the % with 10 years at DOS is .01%. Isn't .01% 1/100 of 1%? 10 X .01% = .1% (which is 1/10 of 1%). Even if the high five was maxed out at $260K, the extra retirement income would be only $260.00 a year (peanuts). Did they mean for the answer to be 1%? Am I AFU or what?

By the way, as far as sick leave goes...We get 72hrs/year. Max sick bank is 686hrs. That's obviously not calculated by 6hr days. Unless they wanted us to have a max of 114.333 days of sick leave.
The vacation argument has been beaten to death, I'd say. But, just for argument's sake...If you're presently flying a MEM-GTF type line(one that's paid at more than 6hrs/day) and you have vacation that month. Do you not get the same amount of time off, even though you knock out less trips with your 6hr/day vacation? Just by the fact that you have less trips to begin with? I think it works out the same.
