Yes to asking my block rep - declined to answer directly. He said the credit for A-plan sunset “proved difficult to quantify” based on two main factors: forecast of new hires coming on board and how many current pilots would opt for MBCBP.

IMHO, pretty easy to read between the lines.

So what did you read, between the lines.?

where is your fight, man? why are you so determined to shuffle money around instead of demanding more? do you benefit from stock buy backs?

Oh, we're going to fight this time? Because we sure didn't for TA 1.0. Pilots are going to make different individual choices this time around? We're going to actually back the NC when they go into the room and the company looks past them at us?
That'll be a nice change. Can't wait to see that. Let's see how unified we are with something simple like disputed pairings. Those haven't been an issue for a while. Think they'll all be untouched a few weeks from now? Hey, it's ANC so maybe there's a chance. According to the latest scheduling podcast, there might even be some draft available soon. Let's see how that works out. Then come back and talk to us about "fight". Or is it going to be about "deserve" again?
Just to be clear, deserve has nothing to do with it. Never has, never will.

So if I retire at 63 with high five and 25 YOS and tables say I will live to 79 then it would be 16 years X $39K or an added value of $624K in addition to my already agreed up $130K a year. Maybe I get lucky and live to 90. So for me the extra value to me and cost to the comapny would be $1,053,000.

So there are quite a few variables which require some estimates.

The 4 to 1 is the requirement by the government to fund the pension, it is called a PBO or pension benefit obligation. For every dollar we get the company is required by law to put 4 bucks away. So a 39k increase in FAE means the company has to put away 900 million.

I feel ya. some folks just cannot help themselves, and this selfishness destroys the macro challenges we face.
but
but
the majority, barely, are willing to fight; clearly you are not among us.

Yep, Way too much greed in this pilot group to every give the NC the backing they need.

I don't think you have your numbers even close.

I'm confused as to how you came to that conclusion from my post. Let me assure you that I have and always will support our negotiation efforts with my own personal choices. Based on our negotiating history, I think you'll understand my skepticism concerning the choices made by many of our peers in the past and also moving forward. While I would love to see that history change, I'm not willing to bet too much scratch on a different chain of events this time around. But I'll keep doing what is expected of me during negotiations as I have done since I got into this business. If those choices are unclear to anyone or folks are confused by my reference, then ask someone smarter than you. Ignorance isn't a valid excuse.
