If you want insurance for the first three months, there is cobra and Obamacare. If we get the pay up to where it is should be, you'll get that money back 10 fold.
Let's keep our eyes on the prize, and the prize is MONEY and RETIREMENT!!!
No doubt they should be strong front runners but becareful of focusing too narrow. At my last airline the pay was a little more BUT the deductible on the ins was $7000 that was in network, out of network was $16,000. My wife has had two surgeries in the last 2 months and we have payed less than $1000. So even though I made more money per hour at my last job, I actually made less because of the money I spent on health ins.
