Maybe you should take your own advice and read up on what a Ponzi scheme is.....

So your answer is its your money and its alwsys gona be there no matter what.

So why do such plans require insurance from the pbgc.

And your expert opinion is in the event of death, or plan withdrawl there will be full value return to the plan participant or their designated beneficiary.

Great. Lets go for it.....now how about posting the comparative analysis spreadsheet for the individuals net end position in a cbdb vs after tax investment account.

Iv heard all this before. No worries. Its secure. Yada. Yada. Yada.

Here is the truth. The older more senior a pilot is...the more likely to have a cbdp plan work out great.

The more junior and younger a pilot is...the higher the risk and probability its not gona be all rainbows and lollypops.

It just seems to me there is a lot of bloviating and very little actual knowledge of what the a MBCBP is all about. I understand concerns such as "Is it optional." and the like but gain a bit of knowledge on the topic before calling it a Ponzi scheme. I really don't think a company like PWC would knowingly participate in such a scheme. And ya, save me the references to ENRON etc. Last sentence not meant for you Hank.

Naa that would NEVER happen.

Next time you are riding in back....may i suggest viewing 'The big short'....the book is even better.

Anyone using terms like 'Never' in terms of investments and returns is even less credible than those 'bloviating' about the dangers and history of failure of 'secure' pension plans.

Pretty much, yeah. Is your 401k gonna be there no matter what?

So why do such plans require insurance from the pbgc.

I don't know, why don't you tell me?

And your expert opinion is in the event of death, or plan withdrawl there will be full value return to the plan participant or their designated beneficiary.

We all know what opinions are like.....yours as well. Upon retirement or withdrawal of the money, you will know down to the penny how much you will get. If you (or your heirs) don't think it's right, then dispute it.

Great. Lets go for it.....now how about posting the comparative analysis spreadsheet for the individuals net end position in a cbdb vs after tax investment account.

I'm not the one looking for something like this, lets see your numbers.

Iv heard all this before. No worries. Its secure. Yada. Yada. Yada.

Ahhh, I see, can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Here is the truth. The older more senior a pilot is...the more likely to have a cbdp plan work out great.

The more junior and younger a pilot is...the higher the risk and probability its not gona be all rainbows and lollypops.
IMO a plan like this is going to be subject to the whims of the market place.........just like a 401k.

Are you under the impression you will individually direct the investments in your cbdb plan?

No I am not. It is pooled money that is invested as one but is accounted for in individual accounts. That is my impression.
