FedEx TA (2026)

So, what's the thoughts from the Purple guys? It looks ok from the outside looking in, but I'm not familiar enough with all of the different abbreviations and overrides to know for real. Also, looks like the 3 options on the retirement plans solved the major gripes from last time around but I don't know if they are acceptable options for the group as a whole.

Still gotta dig through it completely. The angry mob will be pissed no matter what, and just trust one guys ChatGPT analysis. I don't like the 18 month 3% pay increase timeline. The 3 retirement options were a surprise to me at least. We'll see. We are a VERY fractured group facing a management group that has a very different path than what many have grown accustomed to.

No pension for new guys. Guys on the list at DOS still have one and it's looks like it went up nicely. I know there are different opinions on here about pensions but it's a big deal at Brown. It's what made it possible for me to get out at 60. I wasn't very smart with my retirement planning. Wasn't aggressive enough with my 401A and didn't do the 401K. Luckily, I put my money into real estate with good timing there, so it's pretty much a wash in the end. My financial advisor now has me pretty aggressive for my age but his arugment is if I can live off the pension (which I can), then the pension represents the conservative side of my investment profile.
