Haha I wonder if "42go" and "TonyC" became drinking buddies 15 years later.
Looks like 42go retired about 8 years ago, and I wasn't even invited to his retirement party.
It looks like he hasn't logged on to APC for almost 4 years. My, how time flies.I'd still drink with him, though. I'd even be willing to read his menu to him.

Take a look at the link in the post just 2 above yours. There's a thorough explanation with CBA references.
In short, our 2006 CBA established 2 VEBAs. The first was for a certain band of pilots based on age who would be eligible for normal retirement at Age 60. They received a sum of money that was intended to offset the very large financial burden of health care insurance costs between retiring at Age 60 (and leaving regular FedEx health care insurance) and becoming Medicare eligible at Age 65. That VEBA is a thing of the past as far as current FedEx pilots are concerned.
The second VEBA was established to provide funds for POST-Medicare eligible health care costs. This VEBA was primed with deposits from The Company and is funded by a dollar amount contributed for each Credit Hour earned by every FedEx pilot, and every FedEx pilot who makes it to that age will be eligible for the benefit.
