My guess is you aren't open to acupuncture or other ancient medical treatments. I could be wrong and sorry if I am, but I too once thought little of alternative medicines. Now I'm more of a "whatever works for you" thinker.

I'm not saying cancer is cured by hypnosis but I have a 66 year old relative that uses THC instead of narcotic pain killers. And I'm OK with that.

Let's face it, contract 2016 was all about the money. IMO contract 2019 will a more balanced approach to improvements. Better healthcare for active employees and retirees is a way to extract value without having to pay income tax on it.

Every pilot will have the opportunity to fill out a survey for the next contract. When that data is examed and an opener is crafted, we will see the (general) will of the pilot group.

I tries to be very careful in my post. To avoid a split. I'm sure there are changes that would benefit mil retirees as well. I actually liked the VEBA idea [though not as it was presented most recently] and could imagine changes that would ve cery beneficial to all. Just dont know what they would be.

I enlisted when I was 18 and left 26 years later to Tricare. So Im ignorant.
I know nothing of civilian healthcare, but was kind of horrified at Delta's plans during indoc. I certainly agree it should be better, even if it doesnt apply directly to me.

I love idea of greater total value that comes tax free.

So you would rather stay in a hotel verses driving 25 minutes home??? Don't you get enough of hotels in this job?

I can see where that would be a problem!
