Looking to work in HAA for 2 years before I retire. Which companies have no wait period for 401 matching and pay out 100% of match at two years of service?

Now it's only 3%

with a carrot on a string for another 3% driven by arbtrary metrics no one has a clue what makes the cut.

My guess is, it's part of the reason retention of pilots is so low....

None that I know of. Don't think two years will get you fully vested. 

What about Matro, AMC or GMR?

they vest quicker

Do something else.  HAA is on screwed up business when it come to the aviation side sucking up to hospital influence and in some cases control.

invest into a 401k plan...you won't make enough in it...might as well retire....its 2yrs old man

I'm almost 48 and will retire at 50. So 401k will earn because I won't touch it till 67.

you'll touch it at 59.5

YOu'll touch it all over....and grope it, and fondle it......and rub it....and stroke it

You must be a student of Bidenomics. 

Why would you bother with a 401K when you could just put your own money into a IRA or Roth, manage it yourself and make WAY more reutrn on your investment than a company sponsered 401K?

I suggest a broad spectrum of investments of @50% stock and bonds, precious metals, commodities, and spread the rest to income producing vehicles like real estate (rental properties), LLCs and so on.  

Whatever you do, don't get caught up in the financial services industry more than necessary.

Manage it yourself?  Other than choosing and maybe every now and then moving something for good reason just buy whatever, leave it there, almost forget about it, and 5 years prior to retirement look at it.

Annuities are not a bad investment, like insurance, they pay, fixed term or life, like a defined benefit pension plan.

Diversify, lean back, don't fiddle with it, and you won't regret it.

"Why bother with a 401K" ?

With company matches, a 401K is free money, even if it takes a couple years to be fully vested. Example: previous employer matched half my contribution up to my 8% of salary. That's 4%, a 50% return right off the bat.  Sound investment options magnify that proportionally.

I worked 17 years, give or take a couple months, so vesting my 401k was a given and went with me fom my first employer to the second.

no one is vested in less than 3 years. Skip the 401k and open a Fidelity roth IRA, max it out in a nice index fund like FZAIX. Up almost 15% YTD

Era vests 100 day one 

WB

the expense ratio is off the charts on that one.  I'd take a closer look if I were you and get a better fund.

a different Warren Buffet, I guess.

Warren Buffet isn't stupid enough to pay a 1% expense ratio for a managed fund that never beats it's benchmark.

fine...FZROX then

Look into it.

Vusux is all I've been hanging on to since cashing out.....the idiots just keep prolonging the collapse....so I can't get back in....heavy.  But still chaching 800 a month on the monthy div that buys more Vusux ain't bad.

getting warmer

In HAA, I have seen anywhere from instant full vesting, to 3 years.
