Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I always thought a lump sum DC contribution in Dec for those able to get the DC catchup would be a good idea. Basically it would be a lump sum on the difference between the IRS max and the Catchup max.

This would not preclude an increase in everyone's DC plan percentages, but rather another bump for the guys on the top.

I know some will argue that will make guys stay till 65 but most will anyway.

What is your rationale behind giving every pilot that is 50 and older an additional $5,500 (and will increase each year per the govt cost of living increase)?

My rationale is that we should do everything for every pilot to max out their retirement savings plans, and when one is allowed to add more to it, we should have the company dump it in.

The Defined Contribution limit in 2010 for every employee is $49,000. That's quite a bit of coin for the company to contribute.

I think his rationale is that this bump would continue and as the years pass everyone would get a piece of this pie. Even though I would benefit from this (being over 50), I'm not sure that I agree with it because of the uncertainty of this industry and the way things can be negotiated away.......

If I had known I'd have to be a man-hoar to do this job, I would have preferred I do it when I was young and hot.

Now I'm so old, the tips I command won't even buy me a pack of gum.

TSA agents, get your change ready, here I come! :D
