The 401k is a big deal. Huge tax/retirement advantage over PARC.
Anyone have any information on who the CREW uses for the 401k? And what funds are available?
No not really, the tax advantages are the same regardless of what retirement account method you choose. Also the money dedicated for retirement is the same with any of the 4 contract companies that employ pilots in this contract.
The main difference between the two most popular contract companies is medical insurance (better with CREW if you live in the US) and the unemployment insurance (better with PARC, regardless of where you live) I think that Frate already explained very well the compensation packages, the money at the end of the pay slip is the same when placed by any of the 4 contract companies
