Absolutely embarrassing.

She's on the ball - I emailed her about a simple issue at 9pm on a tueday, had the answer within a few minutes.

Reporting back as promised. I emailed Karen last week and today I got an email from her that Metlife would be sending my dentist the remaining payment for my crown. For those following, it's worth the 2 minutes to type out the email and have her run it down for you. As an add-on, the money she helped save me (or the stress I would've went through trying to get this done on my own) just "refunded" about 4 months of dues (at my current rate of course). Pretty happy with ALPA at this moment. Also want to thank iaflyer and anybody else who might have said the same thing for the great tip.
