In your last post you said the plan will default, "YES" being vested is one thing and future contributions is another. THE IAMNPF is a multi-company pension and that means what? Do you know? Having 3k-4k workers leave on their own WILL do what? They WILL receive what are owed at the time they retire IF they are vested and as LONG as the ADMINISTRATORS don't reduce that amount which THEY CAN to keep the Fund Viable. The IBT Pension fund works the same way.
You are part of the plan as you say SO, will you get something if you were vested, when you decide to retire? Where is the money at this point since you work at Delta, NON Union? I also assume that your pension is still with the IAMNPF and NOT in the PBGC.
Do you also know what happens if you retire with an IAM pension and then draw on it, then need to go back to work for whatever reason? The IAMNPF can STOP your pension. That is what the USAir guys told us here at AA and the administrators of the USAir IAM plan has both company and IAM members.
