If you’re an American Airlines pilot, you’re facing a major decision: whether to participate in the newly announced Market-Based Cash Balance Plan. Ryan is joined once again by Zach Smith from Pilot Tax to break down how the plan actually works, what AA pilots need to know, and the long-term tax consequences many pilots aren’t thinking about. Most importantly, we explore how this decision affects retirement flexibility, future RMDs, and your ability to control your own investment strategy.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

🛩️ What AA’s new plan really is: how the Market-Based Cash Balance Plan works behind the scenes

📉 Lack of control & conservative investing: why the pooled structure limits growth

💥 The tax time-bomb problem: how spillover contributions worsen future RMDs

💰Roth vs. spillover strategy: why many AA pilots should consider opting out

📊 A better long-term approach: controlling taxes, liquidity, and retirement flexibility
