There are two Health plan options.... one is similar to a PPO (lots of flexibility on where you choose to seek medical care, but higher co-pays and deductibles) while the other is similar to an HMO (lower deductibles and co-pays if you stick with "preferred" providers within the Blue Cross/ Blue Shield network)
Both options cover a broad number of procedures with very little or no cost to the pilot. For me, it's been the best health insurance program I've ever had in my career.
The Dental plan is fine for routine checkups, cleanings and minor procedures..... However, "out-of-pocket" expenses can get pretty high if you ever need major work done.
We also have a Vision plan and Prescription drug plan which are both very good.
Pilots do not pay monthly premiums for any of these plans.

My daughter recently had elective surgery for something kids normally get.
Total bill. $8500.
My option? $100 copay.
It's great insurance.

How hard are they on the min req's? I have a Bachelors Science degree with double and quadrouple the other flight time req's. I also have a couple type ratings and a good amount of turbine. Is not having the full simulated/actual instrument a 100% deal breaker? What are the competitive mins per recent classes?
Whats the bidding process like to switch A/C? Are there any seat/equipment locks?
Thanks.
