Actually, the 2018 limit is $55k total. You can put in $18,500 yourself and then let Spirit put in the remaining $36,500. Your point remains, however that even in this situation, you’re not likely to exceed the $332,000 income necessary to trigger an excess situation and a cash payout.

Still not a bad provision to have as your pay rates climb [and Company contribution rate?—honestly don’t know, not poking at you] over the life of the contract.

As a side note, the contribution limits and overage limits increase by $6,000 per year starting the year you turn 50.

EDIT: Looks like GoCats beat me to it. Like everything else, I’m late to the party!

"The contribution limit for employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan is increased from $18,000 to $18,500."

"The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 and over who participate in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan remains unchanged at $6,000."

Remember that the limit of $55,000 (assuming you are under 50) applies to contribution from all sources, so if you contribute $18,500 then the company can only contribute $36,500.

Now that would mean you would still have to make over $300k, and I think the IRS limits the income that can be used to $275k, so that shouldn't be a factor.

Gotcha thanks. Apparently I ain’t edumicated either.

How much more do you really think VX would have achieved without Alaska? The NMB factors in size.

He’s just a troll. If you look at his post history all he does is go from airline to airline boards telling them how much they suck.

He needs to go take his fancy bicycle out for a spin and work off some anger I think.

I was reading the CBA and says ....for A321 pay rate is 110% of the current rates...is that the way company is going to pay a pilot to fly the A321? ...Thanks
Have a interview next week...looking forward to join....

321 override is averaged into all the flying. Basically it adds 2% to the current rates.
