That's my theory anyway.
I have high hopes that your theory is correct because....

So in a sense you could dump 20% in your 401K to max it out early in the year and then the remainder of the year the 401K will stop but the extra 15% from the company will not be lost but instead show up on your check as a taxed portion?

That is correct. But it's not until you reach the 415(c) limit of $52,000 (up from the $51,000 limit in 2013).

For 2014, you can put in $17,500 of your own pretax money (another $5,500 if you're 50 or older). The company kicks in their 15% until the total amount hits $52,000. At that point, they keep paying you the 15% as ordinary income. It'll show up on your check in the left hand column of your paycheck under "Earnings" as "DC Excess"

If you turn 50 at any point in 2014 you can do the extra 5500. I guess you all know how old I am now.

I need to get wise on a GS question...

How does a trip on a GS that spills b/w bid periods work/pay? The kicker is I'm going from a reg line to a Resv line.

When the DPDC account closes and if you elect to dump it into DPSP will that effect the yearly max deposit amount?

I would say most pilots are clueless, and what they do know comes from company publications! Every single pilot has to log onto Deltanet and Icrew and both places are replete with company propaganda. On the other side we have the union doing there best to get info our to the pilots, but it's a fine line they have to tow....unfortunately! On top of that many pilots don't read emails from the union and or never go to the union web site.
How do we fix this? Unless there's 100% involvement of the pilot group we are fighting an uphill battle.

Very disappointing:

MEC Alert 13-21 reads like a company bulletin. It goes over the company's new rule interpretation and then lays out the punishment you can expect if you don't follow the new policy.

The "in our view" sentence is weak and does not inspire much confidence in the union position.

I don't think this Alert is going to give fortitude to many reserve pilots to ignore those threatening calls from scheduling to acknowledge 10 hours prior.

I'm not quite sure what people wanted the union to say?

I wanted them to either say, "You are not obligated to report for a trip before 1900 on your first day", or "we have negotiated a new PWA section"
