While it is true that they will not gain anymore in said pension after AMFA is certified, it is also true they will not lose what they have already vested in the plan.
As for the company's contributions to the plan on behalf of the mechanics - just because the IAMPP will no longer accepts the funds after an AMFA win, doesn't mean the company simply gets to keep the money.
You both are correct. I have been telling him for a long time that they will not lose their pensions.1AA said:And No guarantee that with the alliance the future contributions will continue.

What is contractual today may not be next year or whenever a JCBA is finalized.
