How much do you think the company puts forth for each pilot who elects to sign up for the most basic of the Delta's Health Care plans? I ask because another Fortune 500 company where I worked provided its employees with a "payback" if you will for not using their health care insurance--just not signing up for it because the employee had coverage from their spouse's job or from a former job, like the military.

I don't use Delta's heath care plan. I have coverage already and on my contract survey suggested our NC ask the company to provide a payback to pilots who don't use the Delta health care plans. Offering health care plans for employees is a huge expense for the company, and those who don't need it are in effect saving the company money. IMO, there should be some payback to those who aren't costing the company in this regard. I did not see anything about this on the contract opener.
