Crap, I agree with FoxHunter

There is, and never was, any chance the A plan fix would be retroactive

Instead, if the TA is rejected-and we're able to get FedEx to budge off their line in the sand RE Cap changes. The change will take place as of some date in the future. Your 2011-2015 earnings need not apply

I'm kind of glad LAG didn't actually guess why you haunt this site. It would be like finally capturing a live bigfoot, or finding the holy grail. The fun of a mystery is the mystery.

I agree with most (almost all) of what Dan has to say. But ... although he did sign his name to it, the 2 places I've seen it posted have been posted by others.

And ... he's a member of the "brother-in-law Management Club" which basically means that he's immune from any possible consequences except that he'll be stuck with the results of the TA vote like the rest of us will.

On a different but related subject ... did the Negotiating Committee meet with Management at a Church Prayer Meeting (that happened during one of our previous Contract Negotiations) so that they could pray for a mutually agreeable TA???

90 something yes in 2006, 60 something yes in 2011. TBD in 2015.

Oh I never said retro was possible, just trying to rationalize the motivations of the pro 70 retirement poster.

You are a very slow learner. It happens once you pass your prime. I am all for an A Plan bump or a Cola. I have been telling people for 5 years how to make it happen. Yes or no, I think enough of us are willing to listen now.

Didn't you also predict a few years ago that our next TA would have PBS and a Frozen A plan?

Enjoy your Retirement George.

I may have done that after reading the book Retirement Heist?

I think the cap issue should be fixed by requiring it to be equal to the IRS limits today of $420,000 just as the $260,000 was the limit in 1998 and will be adjusted every year to the current limit so it is never an issue again.
This can be achieved if Dan V and 500 other Captains offer a mass retirement effective October 31, 2015 if this change is not done. Let management consider how the 2015 Christmas season will work.

Now that would be leverage. But I'm pretty sure we'll stick with "because we deserve it".
