I hate to get in the middle of a pissing contest, but Van, I'm sure you have access to the retirement.fedex.com website. If so, log on and go to the TPB section. Under account summary look at Estimate your future benefits. Use the key dates to Estimate your benefits (step 2). This takes you to a calculator that allows you to see what your benefit will be (within reason I'm sure) when you begin at any time in the future. It also states that if you want a paper copy of the projections, you can contact them for that. It's pretty clear, and it's all there in black and white.
