Indeed. You can't just walk off one company's aircraft then just climb into the cockpit of another company's aircraft and just fly off. There's a series of testing and recertification that has to be completed before hand. Going through all that just to be route bottom feeder for an indeterminable number of years doesn't seem worthwhile because about the time you get some stripes and access to decent route chum you're at mandatory retirement age anyway.
But Falcon says it works because he had some goober in Memphis show him a Power Point!

With as many hours of cockpit time our pilots have, the shortage of pilots world wide, I am sure it would not take long to be in control of an Amazon contracted plane. I am sure you are as versed in pilot training as you are in the stock market
It's amazing how much effort you've spent arguing how smart it is for pilots to do something that they're not going to do.

If it made as much sense as you claim it does, you'd be driving a Ground truck and bragging about it.

Corporate Plan TPB:

Your Corporate Plan TPB can be started at age 60 with no reduction; the early retirement reduction is unchanged; and, if you retire and delay the start of your benefit past age 60, you still will receive a late retirement increase for the number of months your benefit was delayed.



Since most on here are too ignorant to read the Retirement website. This come straight from the YRB. Key Dates section. It doesn't give the exact amount of the increase, That information is available on the "Project your pension" chart. For every year you delay commencing your Traditional, your monthly payments grows 10%.

Hedley was the person the posted that pilots were retiring and going to Amazon. I just said if they have maxed out their pension, seems like a good idea. I have no idea what pilots are doing, I haven't been around a Fedex plane in years.

Get a family member to explain it to you. The chart is the exact same chart the retirement dept. uses. It has all of your pay history, personal history and everything needed to tell you to the $ what your pension will be. I was asked to post the information that explains the Traditional increase. It is up to you to get someone to explain the concept.

Yeah I don't like to get into the middle of these but Falcon is WAYYYY off.
The max was 25 years times 2%. There is no formula where that number gets above 50%.
Not only that but the wages that it is based off were frozen about 12 years ago, the traditional plan loses value in inflation adjusted dollars every year you don't start drawing on it once eligible.
Guess you aren't as informed as you thought about the Traditional Pension increase.

Crickets? Everyone that wanted me to post the information about the increase suddenly go silent. Is the positioning of your foot in your mouth preventing you from responding?

That has to be old information, regular retirement is not 60 anymore, pilots refer to the contract.

That being said, do you have an old chart showing the increase of benefit when delaying TPB, better yet do you have a current chart?

Just a question, not busting balls.

I just read your post, my name is not and I have never been called crickets from lack of speech.
Respond to my post, if you don't know just say it.

Retirement.fedex.com. The information is all there. I pasted that information directly from the website. Up to date and 100% accurate.

While retirement has moved to 62. The Traditional is still payed 100% at age 60. The 10% yearly increase begins at 60 and does not have an ending age. The longer you wait, the more it increases.

I guess he does whatever he wants. Would you like to further beat that dead horse?
I'll beat it.

You still need to cite a case concerning the RLA where Federal Express or the current FedEx was the respondent.
Don't offer the same lame :bsbullf: case you have in the past, Fedex was not a respondent
