Medical was free until now (with new TA) and is now something like $50 for employee only per month. We recently switched from Cigna to UnitedHealthCare which the pilots aren't too crazy about, but I haven't had to use either yet so can't speak first hand.
World does not fly out of IAD, but BWI is considered a common base and we do have flights from there to Ramstein, Deutschland.
This is all good info. I am in the process of looking for other places of employment and the home basing is a definate plus. I was worried about the travel benfits since I have a wife from Brasil. That would be good to be able to still use the DAL flights to go to Sao Paulo.
As far as the healthcare, we used to have UHC and were switched to Anthem. UHC was a much better company and program. We have had nothing but trouble with Anthem.
Are there plans to start hiring again? I see that they are going to be at the ATL AirInc fair.
Thanks
