I really don't care if they want a note anyways. I don't gsme the system, and if they want the note they have to pay for the Doc visit. From what I hear it simply doesn't happen. I'm happy leaving that provision intact if they leave the rest of the program alone.

Why? Wouldn't you want to know how your future paycheck was calculated before making a major career decision?

For the non-Oberon lurkers that may not know, C2012 was willingly voted in by 62%. Some loved it, some hated it and others voted yes due to a massive fear campaign from our MEC administration designed to scare instead of inform.

2. When you were hired, my seniority number didn't change at all.
3. Profit Sharing has zero bearing on how your paycheck is calculated.

You assume my delta 401k is my only retirement investments. Thanks for the advice though.

If buying Pan Am ended up being a bad business move, it wasn't because of Pan Am.
