Hello! You are wrong!
Did anyone else look at medical coverage of the other airlines in contract comparison? Our premiums and deductibles are WAY higher than everyone else.
Agreed.
How about 20% DC contribution, improvements to medical (lower premiums and lower deductibles) and forget the idea of a pension. The union has lost what the pilot group wants in a big way. Everyone please fill out the survey!
As someone mentioned in another thread, that extra 5% would mean more money in your pocket if it was in a 9% pay raise instead of a 4% raise and 5% more DC. I’d rather take it in a raise.
Forget the 20% DC and lets go with a new DB... See, I can play that game too!
I do agree with your desire for improvements to medical. I would carry it further to include Medicare supplemental insurance after turning 65......dare I say retirement medical....
Yes, please everyone take the survey.
