Option 2 is a flat rate benefit of $3,000 a year max of 30 years. (Established in 2006 with no increases.) ( Capt $3,000 First Officer $2,400 Flight Engineer $2,100 )

30 years A plan 265,000 x .3 = $79,500
30 years Flat rate 30 x 3,000 = $90,000

$90,000 after 30 years?!! You guys at Brown have allot of catching up to do.

Correct, except Captains max out at about 10.3% because of federal limits on the qualified plan. Just FYI.

And in the unfortunate event where one ends up on disability, B Fund contributions end, and so to 401K contributions, A Fund longevity continues to accrue. Having both an A and B fund is a good balance.

I believe fedex pilots who reach the IRS limit keep getting paid but now it's added to your income and taxed. Is that correct?

That's how ups B-plan worked before the '06 contract. Now, once they reach the IRS limit ups keeps the money... It only affects a few pilots but still

The difference above the IRS CAP is paid to us in cash and taxed at current rate.
Not a good deal

That's what I thought.

Well, your deal is MUCH better than our deal.

Since the 2006 contract - once a pilot reaches the IRS cap ups keeps the extra money!!! In other words, don't worry about being taxed on the difference because ups keeps ALL the difference.

The fact we gave that up is unfathomable to me! :-(

I wasn't here for the 2006 "bonus". Was it split between 2006 and 2007 to limit the taxes?
