my second $250, $300 in the third year and $400 in the fourth; in the three months between the completion of my fourth year's service and the time I went into the Army, my total pay was $1800. In the 29 months since coming back from the Army, I have made $750 a month. Suppose I get in 7 more years at $850 a month, and than I am busted out? Just what would I get under one of these plans? The amount you would get under each plan is different.
Under United you'd get $8,340 in cash - $7,553 of your contributions and $787 in interest. 
If Pan-American was your employer, you'd get $6,678-at the United interest rates, somebody would get $686 of interest earned on your money.
You'd get back $5,399 from American-just what you'd paid in.
The Braniff plan would give you a choice-you could get $4,137 in cash-you could wait 8 years and 8 months after you're busted out and get about $55.50 per month-you could wait longer and get more-up to $109 for waiting 18 years and 8 months.
The Eastern Plan works something like Braniff-under the conditions outlined, you would have a choice of $3,670 in case, or an annuity of $65.95 if you could wait for the 8 years and 8 months. After 18 years and 8 months of waiting, you could get $127.50 per month.
Maybe I'll be lucky. How will I come out if, instead of 7 more years at $850 per month, I click to the end of 1958?
