It was an absolute, 100% surprise to us line-flying chumps when the TA was released.
Keep in mind, our NC attempted to negotiate away our A plan in exchange for an unproven cash balance plan for a couple of years before Section 6 negotiations even began!!
During negotiations, when asked about the rumors about sunsetting the A plan, and the "Cheiron Scheme" cash balance plan, we were told by our NC and Reps that the rumors were false and to just sit tight and patiently wait for Retirement to be unveiled, it was going to blow our minds away. I guess it did.
