There's exactly that, on the first page. Did they not do it for the change that brought on the nose door opening? That's hard to believe.

They do it but the changes can sometimes be somewhat cryptic. I'm betting that change was listed on the record of revisions as "preflight" and if you go to the affected page you can see a change bar in the margin showing where on the page the change occurred but it's sometimes hard to identify specifically what changed.

If you don't know current book like the back of your hand, good luck identifying a change.

In the 900 they removed the requirement for a paper ODH in one of the revisions and I didn't know until I got a plane that didn't have any paper ODH's and looked it up. The record of revision was "preflight docs" and ODH was deleted.

Ha! That happened to me too. Must’ve missed it in a fleet newsletter or something.

Anyone able to assist with the 401K?

There's two options on the website; "Start Easy Enroll and Start Standard Enroll".. Easy Enroll gives me the option for 8%, 10% and 12%. Standard Enroll seems to be a bit more complex.

Starting Jan 1 2018 the company will match 100% of 3%.. So I would think I should put in 6% but there isn't an option for 6%.

Thanks!

Doesn't make much difference. You're just trying to turn it on now, once you've got a fidelity login you can change the contribution amount every week if you'd like. In my experience the changes take effect on the next paycheck (if it's not tomorrow) but I think their documentation say 1-2 paychecks.

Also I believe to capture the full match you'd only have to do 3% as it is 3% on 3% however if you look long term, 15% is a much more reasonable level to have enough money to retire on.

Unfortunately a lot of people get caught up in the match and think that's how much they should save.

The sooner you start saving, the more money it's worth at retirement, so do the 15% as early as you can. You won't miss it.

Investing more is usually better than less, that is true. But before you exceed the company match in your 401K, you would be better off putting money into a Roth IRA.

The best way to do it is to meet the company max match in the 401K, then switch to your Roth(s), putting away into that until it is maxed out ($5,500 single, or double that if married, plus the $1,000 catch up if you are older). THEN go back and increase your 401K if you wish to save more.

Generally good advice however Endeavor offers a Roth 401k as well.

As such if you're interested in a Roth you're better served to do it within the 401k with its associated higher contribution limits (18K vs 5,500).

If the 18k doesn't get you to 15% then go to an IRA and then after tax investing. As well, I don't believe the Roth 401k is subject to a max income limit, at some point you lose the ability to contribute to a normal Roth. (In case your spouse makes a lot of money)

Call the fidelity customer service people. They are very helpful.

Been a long time since I enrolled but I can specify any percent I desire on their website.
