TA would be voted down.

Anyway, that is the biggest problem that ALPA has, and has had the past 20 years, at least. Everyone is voting for what is best for them instead of what is best for the entire group, and vis a vis, the profession. That is why this career is where it is nowadays.

I guess you could say Congress has the same problem.

Question. Is the DPMP medical plan going to the Gold HRA or similar?

No. It is picking up some of the Gold HRA features ( Chiropractic care, emergency room visits, hospice, therapies, weight loss, prescription coinsurance/copays) but it will most closely resemble the DPMP Option N with an 18.5% rate reduction.

I saw part of that in the NNP. Thanks for the calcification. I really liked the rate reduction part of the TA. It is by far one of the biggest gains for the DAL pilots.

Will the co-pays et al remain unchanged for DPMP, or is it going to a higher deductible sort of plan?

I have always loved this plan, but it was too expensive for my family. The reduction in plan costs for the pilot is something that I really liked seeing in the TA.

From the quote below anyone want to try to guess what is included to our benefit or to the company? Anyway to get a list prior to the vote?



"Should the pilot group vote to ratify the TA, most of the terms will go into effect on July 1, 2012, while certain features will be implemented no later than the schedule that will be made available to you shortly. For example, some items will be delayed due to necessary software programming"
