mmmmmmmmaybe.

The fDAL guy does not (unless he invests well). If you are saying that the fDAL guy would have the same amount of money, then many should be gone, because they would effectively have gotten a complete DB payout with the claim/note.

Your comment about getting to work past age 60 was humorous to say the least..

Anyway nice guy. Right after that I met this really hot chick at the bar that no one else was flirting with and believe it or not she was all over me for the attention.

I never insinuated they have it better, I was only stating that I didn't think many 777A guys would take the package because of the way our retirement has evolved, it behooves us to stay.

Actually, you stated, "the program is geared toward the fnw guys". I simply asked how that was true, and you've now finally answered the question. The program is not geared toward the fnw guys, but it is more attractive to them, simply because of the difference in how each group's retirement plans have evolved.

The program is NOT geared toward the fnw guys in anyway. Rather, it is more attractive to them because of the difference in how each group's retirement plans have evolved.
