I floated an idea like this to a pilot I was flying with a few months ago. She laughed me out of the room and started saying that she didn't think ALPA should even be paying for our COBRA. "ALPA should not be in the business of taking people's money and redistributing it," was the sentiment and something about it being socialism. I feel like you'd have a lot of that at Delta.

The other thing to think about is, with the next bailout package there is going to be some level of extra Federal assistance. Say 1200 from the Feds and 1600 from the state on average. Would this money disqualify you from those benefits?
