Lets us just put it out there, since the union email states it pretty clearly.

Number 9. This LOA is only really useful for our RTP/Military Reserve pilots. They will be able to supplement their income with mil leave and most likely are not on the company health care anyway, so no financial burden coming from that. I would say a good deal of them also already have some form of retirement from the military so can afford to lose $3-5K each month in lost wages.

There may be a few other outliers, but this is geared directly for them and them only. Everyone else who isnt in that position, doesn't have a second income stream, has a significant other who may have been laid off, those who use company insurance, those who dont live with their parents all have no help whatsoever with this.

Dera you talk about options being good and I am glad that our military brothers and sisters will get help with this, but there are zero options for everyone else.
