I like the snippet about insurance.... idiotic comment of the week right there. I’m not sure if he was pointing it out or truly a bit annoyed, but pure ignorance once again. Maybe it has more to do with the ATL corporate people being moved from the ASA United Healthcare plan to the XJT Blue Cross plan, and less to do with the age of the pilot group. Just a thought.
This isn't ASA anymore and the pilot group is much smaller now. All the junior ASA folks that could leave to greener pastures like LCC's, Majors and Cargo outfits left.
From the union:
"For those who are wondering why the premiums for the PPO 1500 and the HDHP plans increased so much, it is because we are a smaller and older group than in previous years, plus we also had a 47% increase in cancer treatments this last year."
You're not living in reality. The CRJ's and the Atlanta base aren't coming back and neither is the PBS that you were used to.
