I believe that you are not eligible for Tricare Reserve Select if you are able to be covered by FEHB. TRS is a better value than FEHB (coverage per cost).
also, I would think that Tricare Prime for a retiree would be adequate coverage, and getting additional airline coverage would not be worth the cost.
