If the majority believe it’s worth it, they will vote accordingly. As our ranks become much more civilian than military over the coming years, I believe you’ll be in even a far greater minority.
First of all...I didn't say anything about DB restoration. Even though I'll be retiring soon, I'm not interested in that either. Second, I did say improved healthcare was a worthwhile goal. I also acknowledged that the pilots with Tricare are not a majority. The main point of my post was that not every pilot needs it as you said in the post I quoted. So...just like you said it doesn't benefit YOU to expend negotiating capital on a DB, it doesn't benefit the Tricare group (yes, a minority) to expend negotiating capital on medical benefits. As I said in my first post...one man's trash is another man's treasure. That's why the majority will eventually iron out the details. It's been that way for a long, long time and I'm OK with that too. You have a nice day now.
