American Plans

As an active American pilot, your American Airlines 401(k) Plan for Pilots is your primary way of saving for retirement. Allworth Airline Advisors is proud to offer professional investment management for your 401(k) through BrokerageLink at Fidelity.

Your A Fund was frozen as of 2012, and you now have control over your B Fund within an IRA or your 401(k). Our team can help you understand how these accounts fit together, as well as how to optimize your 401(k) contributions to prepare you for a successful retirement, taking into account your specific goals, income needs before and during retirement, healthcare expenses, Social Security income, and potential tax consequences. We can also help you determine which benefit plan(s) through American, the APA, or the government work best for your needs, including pre- and post-retirement plans and whether a Health Savings Account (HSA) is right for you.

Experience

For more than 40 years, Allworth Airline Advisors (formerly RAA) has assisted pilots and their families with a variety of financial planning services including 401(k) management, comprehensive financial planning, retirement planning, investment management, estate planning, benefit reviews, tax guidance and return preparation, insurance guidance, income planning, and Social Security and Medicare guidance, as well as many others.
