Employer contributions vest after three years of service and are measured from a crewmember's hire date. Crewmembers are vested immediately in their voluntary contributions. Certain Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") licensed crewmembers receive a discretionary contribution of 8% of eligible compensation, which we refer to as Retirement Non-elective Licensed Crewmember Contribution.
