Back on topic if you are concerned about the A plan. We do have one provision to fall back on sound they try to monkey with it too much. For those that aren't here and don't know, our monies are co mingled with the managers plan. He's, they could go bankrupt and ditch the pension but they would be losing their own as well so in theory, we have some pretty good protection compared to some of what we've seen in the rest of the world where managements play games on BK to get rid of the hourly pensions while keeping their own. Theirs is ours and vice versa

Yes tied to the managers. Not the execs. Don't forget 1200 untouchable ground managers were laid off in 2008-2009 by CEO Davis. The top three guys and board don't care about managers anymore then union guys. As they say its just business.

February 13 and 27 I believe. I haven't heard specific dates for March but I would guess March 13 and 27. They seem to be running every two weeks.

Trying to gauge what's considered competitive at the moment.
From what I was told by.m a friend who started training last month... during INDOC, a slide was shown on the projector that said the average flight time of non military guys was 6800TT and 3250 PIC. Plus having at least one internal referral.

Thone seem like awful high numbers for mil guys. Especially as an average. An AMC guy at the end of his ten year commitment would be hard pressed to come out with that much time. A fighter guy.....forget it. FWIW, I was a prior mil guy and hired with far fewer hours.

Perhaps that's just the average of guys hired in 2016 or some other metric like that based on a very small pool of new hires?
