I don't know if I'd go down that road. You aren't going to get much sympathy if a 20% pay reduction and a 30% reduction in DC is $75,000 a year. What must you be making now...most employees at US Airways are lucky to pull in $40-50 k!!!

jack_mama,
I wasn't looking for sympathy at all. I know that I make a comfortable living. Haven't looked at the IRS info lately, but probably in the top 5% or so of taxpayers.
For the record, though, the last company proposal was for a 23% paycut (which results in a 10% reduction in my DC plan contribution for starters) and a 50% reduction in DC plan contributions (which results in a 61% reduction when combined with the paycut).
FWIW, there isn't a Porshe in my garage - just my 1988 Civic and the wife's 1994 Civic. I do have a truck in the driveway - a 1984 S10 - for when I need to haul something. My wife of 30 years and I live in a nice house - too big for us now that the kids are grown, but that's another story. The nice thing is it's all paid for.
