The real benefit is to lower paid employees.

Most financial advisors would advise you to do exactly what you post. By leaving your deductions the same you dollar cost average the money into the market. For some reason many pilots perceive there is a tax savings by dumping as much as possible into the 401k as a lump sum. That would only be true if you were not going to max your 401k contributions.

You will max out your 401K sooner and you will have your booze and hooker money arriving monthly instead of in a lump sum. If the market does well after 14 Feb you made a wise choice. If it does poorly you made a poor choice. Basically from a pilot standpoint all you are doing by going lump sum is market timing.
