I thought about cashing out on my MBCP and just using it for saving on dues (Great plan in hindsight) but after paying the taxes at the current level, say $400k and up for many 59 1/2+, is it worth it? I can let the MBCP grow and then start withdrawls after I retire from DAL. Hopefully my retirement income will still be significant, but it will definitely be lowe
Am I missing something here?

And I *think* you have to do something with it when you retire or it buys you an annuity. Just ‘making withdrawals’ is not an option.

This is correct. Roll it into your IRA or purchace an annuity. It doesn't live as a separate tax-advantaged account past retirement.

1. a lump sum,
2. a rollover to a qualified retirement account (401(k) or IRA), or
3. an annuity
If you roll it into a qualified retirement account, you can decide when and how much you want to withdraw, thus allowing you to "just make withdrawals". Note: if a pilot does NOTHING, 90 days after retirement, the MBCBP will be annuitized per the plan
document (not the best option).

Trying to book my PS to/from CQ and all of the aisle and window seats in the front half of the aircraft are not selectable. Is this some new morale lowering policy recently put into place or has it always been this way? Let me tell you this really makes me want to go the extra mile for my employer - not! So no Economy comfort until 24 hours prior, now no window and aisle seats unless you are the back half of the aircraft.
Oh yeah, it wouldn't let me select any of the reclining emergency exit row seats either. Who the Hell is instituting these polices - Did DAL hire Ebenezeer Scrooge himslef?
Two questions - is this IAW the PWA? DO these restrictions loosen as the flight date comes closer - currently 1 month out?
