You know, instead of worrying about SWA+, even C2K rates would be very good rates (in addition to other contract improvements). This should be posted everywhere because there are many pilots still on property that got to experience those rates and should be remembered. Instead of "Remember the Alamo", remember "Pearl Harbor" we should have "Remember C2K". The company is making good money in a recession and a lot of that was made off our backs with the 2004 concession (remember save the company) and then the bankruptcy givebacks. The pilots helped facilitate the smoothest merger in Airline history (it's looking even better seeing how well UCAL and SWA/AT is going). We have achieved $BILLIONS$ in synergies and we're praised every time a new Flight Ops update comes out. As Cuba Gooding says in Jerry Maguire - "Show me the money". I have a lot of catching up to do to make up for furlough and loss of pension and guys senior to me lost even more. The only way to do it is make lots of money and SAVE lots of money. There is no reason I shouldn't be able to max out my 401K every year ($50,000). Over 50 I can only put $22,500 in so I need to have the company put in $27,500. Since I can only be a NB F/O, at 14% (current contribution), I need to make $183K a year (15.2K/month with ALV @ 72 means 211.8 an hour). Now, the rest of you are free to come up with your own combinations of being able to max out the 401K/DC plan. The senior guys can just keep the extra money and invest how they want out of the 401K.
