dalad, one word, slingbox. It's an airline pilots friend. Watch your own tube in BRU, or SYD, or Toledo.

I've got ATT Uverse on my Ipad. It works great on the road. Used to have the Direct TV App when I had satelite. I was in ACC watching NFL football, and my wife couldn't figure out why the channel kept going back to the game on FOX! It would work off the main box.

I dont think we want to know what you're doing with your one eyed monster late at night in BRU. ;)

He's probably trying to figure out how to backdoor his schedule.:D

Maybe I'll apply at SWA.

Well, Buzz, we'd have to make a choice.

At SWA, you have pay for training.

At Delta, you have pay for airplanes.

I guess since we already paid for the planes... :D

You actually paid attention. Very good. Although I dont use the word downgrade. Not a term I use.

We still need to get you a copy of the PWA. Since you have a smartphone you know you can download one. I mean since the TA was dropped well over a month and a half ago...

Curous, Bill... how often do you actually fly a trip at DL?

or what category? Bill, aren't you MSP 73N B or maybe it was ATL M88 B? I thought that's what your avatar said before you went to 717A?

My wife just endured three major back surgeries in a 6 week period, including 3 weeks in the hospital. The bill: $269,000!!! My out of pocket: $154.

Run, don't walk, to TRICARE Prime if you are eligible.

I was referring to how difficult it can be to find a PCM and in some areas Prime folks aren't as welcome. As my wife's Dr put it - Welfare pays more than Tricare. Generally speaking there are two types that take it 1) new/starting out or 2)patriotic. Luckily I live in an area with lots of the latter types.

I consider myself blessed beyond measure to have the choice.

I have heard that its difficult to find Tricare providers if you don't live near a big military base. I still live in a military town and have had a very good experience with Tricare. My wife has had a rough couple of years medically, but my out of pocket has been minuscule.

Well it was wise to bail. We were quite delayed. Glad you made it! :D

Was on Prime, but opted for Standard. May pay a little more (if I use it, if I don't I actually pay less due to no yearly fee). Standard gives you a lot more leeway on who you want for your doctor. Personally, I'm glad I don't have to visit the on base hobby shop for what ails me these days. Prime may not always require you to go on base, but if you live near an installation it may be the only option you're given. Case in point was some PT I required. Instead of going to a place two miles down the road from my house I was required to make the 40 minute drive to Eglin's base hospital. After changing to Standard I was able to go to the PT clinic of my own choosing.

As do I, but I fear that its days are numbered. Huge % increases have been proposed by the current administration even after the promise was made that it wouldn't happen. I understand some increases are necessary, but ~40% in a year is not the way to go so others can jump on disability and SNAP.

Yeah, I know, but it's rare on ATL M88B in my experience. First time I've seen it outside of a holiday month.
