Philly

It was taken at the Keys Fishery in Marathon, FL. They apparently weren't happy with the treatment that they got from Delta when there was a problem with a seafood shipment to Asia.

I always make a point of wearing something with a Delta logo when I eat there.

You're not leaving any money on the table. The non-contract employees get 2% as a company contribution to their Savings Plan, and can get up to a 5% match on their own voluntary contributions to the Savings Plan. That gives them a total potential DC of 7%.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but wanted to verify.

There was a time you could contribute to the Family Care program and the Co. matched some part. It was a good hedge. Is it gone now?

You can still contribute. The match was changed to a company contribution, and is no longer dependent on your contribution.
