This is copied and pasted from Jetflyers Facebook page, from captain CT who has provided some in-depth, factual, unemotional analysis, section by section:

"Section 27 Insurance.
So I'm a buy-up plan kind of guy. I'm paying $208.10 a month now for that plan. Cost the same in '16. Goes up to $252 in '17, $277 in 18, and $304 in '19 (adios in '19).
I can live with those numbers.
Then I look at page 489 and see that my max out of pocket for the family went from $3450 to $9750.
Now let me spin that the way the 28% B-Fund was spun:
THAT IS A 182% INCREASE!
Takes a bite out of that not quite 3% a year pay increase.
Not saying that my share of the health costs should't go up. Just saying I need to consider the whole TA not just the flashy new pay rates".
