Default Delta B Fund %

What is the real contribution % to the DAL B Fund? This website lists 9%, but WFFF lists up to 19.2% depending on years of service. That's a huge difference, so what is correct?

Thanks,

It is 9%. There is no more than that. They also add 2% to a 401K. What you are looking at is pre LOA numbers.

This may sound stupid, but I have zero knowledge of pensions as far as A Fund/B Fund. What's the difference? What does it mean to have a 9% B Fund? Sorry for the ignorance...I'm just too young to have any involvement with any sort of pension. All I got is my own investments and a 401k for retirement...

well dont worry about finding out what an A fund is (traditional company funded pension, in the glory days this was where the big money was when you retired). youll never get to experience having one well unless you get hired by AA years from now and they havent gotten rid of it

Go to the front page of this web site, there are two excellent articles explaining the difference. But basically a B-fund is just like a 401K, except the company makes the contributions on your behalf, in this case 9% of your pay would go into a B-fund at delta.

BTW you're never too young to worry about retirement.
