This is a statement full of assumptions.

True, I’m assuming that the DC limit of $290,000 isn’t raised over the next few years.
I’m assuming that the negotiated accumulation rate is 2%, instead of a higher number like 2.2% (or even 2.5%)
I’m assuming the YOS cap is negotiated to reflect the reality that many/majority of FedEx pilots are continuing beyond 25 YOS if they can.

And I’m assuming we’d all agree that $290,000 times 2% = $5,800.

The only part of that I will agree with is 2% of $290,000 is $5800. The rest is just a guess.

Why not assume that the company draws a line in the sand and says if the plan is so good, it doesn't need a floor.

Why not assume that the company says ok, but the mandatory retirement age is 5 years older now, so you only get 1.67% for each year of service.

Why not assume that the company bases it on earnings less than the defined contribution limits. As you say, this isn't a defined contribution plan, so those limits don't many anything in regards to this plan.

Why not assume that the company says that our current plan should be the floor limit.

There are so many things that need to be negotiated in this plan. Tuck says that we will never be released to self help. The company drew one line in the sand and the NC and MEC caved. Why shouldn't we expect the same this time.

If we shouldn't expect the same, then why not improve the current FAE limit. The defined benefit limit is $230K this year. Why not ask for that. That limit was in our very first contract.

The MEC and NC were pushing the Kool-Aid hard with the VB plan. They added a lot of sugar and fancy colors to make it look and taste good, but in the end, it really isn't good for you.

IF we're playing assumption games.

Why not assume that any PSPP style plan will be tied to WB Capt pay?
And let's go with the multiplier scheme our current A plan has for those over a certain age. 54 is the cutoff that comes to mind (note-I didn't reference the CBA) and 2.2 is the max multiplier (again, that's just off the top of the noggin)
But the Company has an incentive to retain pilots, so why not add a 2.5 carveout for those over 60.

So, assuming WB Capt pay is in the $400 an hour range in the TA.
Let's go with the the 2.5% accumulation rate times 400 times 900 hours

SO, every year in our PSPP style plan negotiated to a better level is an extra $9,000 a year for those over 60.

Shoot, that's almost the equivalent of raising the FAE of our current plan to $460,000

Yes, we can all play assumption games. You told Stan446 that the PSPP would increase their retirement $5800 above the current $130000. That was based on assumptions, not anything else.

So if the WB pay rate is $400 per hour in the new TA, is that starting or ending. It would take pay rate increases of 3.6% a year for 5 years to get that. Earlier you stated that our less than 3% pay raises has outpaced inflation, so why are you getting us even more, unless it is to pad the numbers? Or, are you in favor of a longer contract?

So, you say that $9000 a year extra for 5 years is almost as good as raising the FAE to $460,000. Hmmm, 5X9000 is $45000. Add that to $130,000 and you get $175,000. Yeah, that is almost as good as $230,000.

The MEC needs to hire you to sell their plan if they haven't already.

No kidding. Also sad that he's already talking about carve outs. This pilot group needs to stop dividing itself.

Isn't raising the FAE cap to the max paying out $230,00 a year vs 130,000.?Thats a heck of a lot more than 9,000/yr.
