A 401k is the government and corporate america's way to enable you to delude yourself that you'll be OK without your grandfather's defined-benefit pension.

With that said, and while 90% of my retirement planning falls in other realms, you might as well contribute enough to get the match. It's a tax-reduced 7% raise over the long run.

The 12% B fund that Expressjet gets(that we were told would be matched) would be a good start.

Please put the drink down and step away from the punch bowl. How many of the skywest peeps are getting 60,000 the first year? Starting pay at $38 an hour for a full min guarantee while in training?

Skywest is mid industry average right now. Only the amount of bases is appealing to most.
