Please don't take this the wrong way...

But....

Ugh, how could you not know this?? You should have known this when the benefit was first explained to you our at least sought out the answer. It's such an important part of the whole package. No one should of come here just because of airplane orders (maybe you haven't, but too many have). It has to be the whole model, work rules (which need work), the whole package. For me, the amendable date, timing of this contract was a big part of the potential of this place.

On the subject of insurance around here. We are so far from standard it's really pathetic. From ZERO, NADA, ZILCH..... STD to our abysmal LTD. For instance I had a guy tell me we didn't need STD. That it only took him 6.5 years, 6.5 YEARS, to save up enough sick time to cover his 3 months, 90 days with no pay! THIS IS JUST SILLY! It is pennies for a little STD program that saves you thousands! Most of us ski, drive fast cars, motorcycles, boats, mow the yard, etc.... Why in the hell would you want to spend 4,6,8K a month to cover your bills?? One day you will need it, you will get hurt. Guaranteed! This is just one example, as you know there are many more.

We are so far from standard, it's crazy.

WE HAVE TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE, ALL OF US, OR WE WILL FAIL!

Please, ALL, educate when you have the opportunity.
