Agreed it is an unknown and part of the risk evaluation needed to weigh your decision. I'm not suggesting anyone vote one way or another. I will say that I believe there is additional risk in timeline expectations from the IRS under the upcoming administration.

I'm not angry that MBCP is conservative (minus expense ratio). I'm just not ready to accept this overly conservative company driven MBCP. Would rather the IRS weigh in esp with the company liability waiver that is tossed at us.

I’m not in love with the lower-cap company PRAP contribution, but I only see this being a real issue for folks that aren’t contributing. It could be more of an issue over time as IRS limits rise though if it isn’t concurrently raised. In any event, it sure looks to me that the lower PRAP cap is simply an outcome of having the eventual optionality of splitting funds between a MBCBP and RHA/Active HRA anyway; therefore, an outcome of our UPA that wasn’t clear at the time, but this LOA will have to cover.

Although while it is low risk I think the potential for an unexpected tax liability in the event the IRS doesn’t like something about this later should be part of the decision as well.

I don’t care how folks vote, but I have to say of everything I’ve ever voted on this some fantastic first world problem stuff that is likely to be okay either way it goes.
The PRAP cap is because of the company's interpretation of the contingent benefit rule. It has nothing to do with RHA optionality.

so, is this LOA one of those things where if it fails, it keeps going up for vote every other week until it passes? Because it sure feels like that kind of thing.

is this going to require another round of voting out our reps, a la Tumi?

If it fails we need to replace the NC - mostly the same NC that gave us the tumi TA.

We have no leverage right now.

After reading all the union material and watching the Q&A, I was pretty agnostic to it passing or not. I am highly against wasting any unity or capital on recalling anyone.

Some pilots were extremely vocal to their reps to get the CBP implemented early. Without leverage - this was what early implementation looked like. Pilots chose status quo. Seems like the process worked.

The problem amongst the reps is self interest versus greater good of the pilot group and thinking of all. This is clear from the reps that pushed this hard and the sell job. Rebuttal lol
