You completely missed the point of the post.

You said, " Along with a bump in DC, I believe our focus should be on much improved active and retiree healthcare plans. Those are worth a real struggle and will have a much longer positive impact on the pilot group.

Although not a majority, the pilots with Tricare do not need improved active and retiree healthcare plans from Delta. So for them, it's not a worth a real struggle and will not have a much longer positive impact on the "whole" pilot group. I'm not saying it's not a worthwhile goal, just don't cast the wide net and say it's "worth the real struggle" for everyone.
