I just threw up a little. If you stay off the pole I'll vote for the MBCBP and Min Balance.

Typos aside we're heading for similar goals. We just have differing approaches to reach them. I have years of turning wrenches, but never went the extra distance for my A&P. I'm all for allowing you the choice for MBCBP, but won't support mandatory MBCBP. Those taking a different path also deserve a choice.

I’m generally for choice. On retirement we have an intent for the DC and an ask for additional DC. We need a vehicle for those funds or we don’t have a legitimate argument for additional DC because it just ends up as wages anyway. The green slip fountain will dry up and the hourly rates will be range bound by our peers. Profit Sharing and DC increases are the only break out potential for earnings. We are hobbling ourselves by not having this vehicle.

I edited it too late. I’m going to threaten my Speedo pics if you don’t vote for MY (really our) plan.

At risk of speedo pics

I am looking to purchase a home in 2023, and current interest rates are 7%. Do I want to lock excess money into a guaranteed 5%?

Option A: NO
Option B: NO as well

With the mortgage interest deduction effectively gone, it doesn't matter. I don't know the details, 5% was thrown out as a minimum. There will be some market float but it will track closer to interest rates than equities.

Question for clarification…if/when one reaches the 415c limit of $66,000 (2023) before the end of year, any company contributions are also then dispersed as DPSP excess cash, correct? So there are two limits to reference wrt DPSP excess, the 415c limit and the income limit of $330,000.

16% of $330,000 is $52,800. 20% of $330,000 is $66,000 should we get that as a DC. You will not exceed the limit unless you make individual contributions that exceed the difference. Some people front load the 401k to force excess cash. There’s an ALPA R&I email out that explains it. I got it today.

Correct. This distinction is why many of us oppose the plan to send excess into the underwhelming plan that's being talked about.

Or if you make more that $330,000. Which many people do today, and even more will do under a hypothetical new contract that will have significant raises.

It's almost as if it's a vehicle built to shackle folks into working til their old.

You get it.

This is why I like my excess coming to me and not the MBCP. I invest it in my own brokerage account.

So that I can live off that $$$ and work less for DL until I start drawing from my 401k at 59.5 yo.

Really? When I was an FO I had many CA’s claim to be DZ’ers that had exactly that… or more. And they proudly showed me the photos of their toys and 401k balances.
