Relatively speaking, Tricare will still be a good deal, even with a 40% increase.

Not going away. It's been replaced with the "plan N", which was the PPO from the NWA side.

Better, IMO.

FX's "Justified" is a good one as well...not in the same class as Breaking Bad, but still a pretty good show. The one on my must see list some day is "The Wire." I've heard it's a really good series to Netflix as well.
The Wire is equal to Breaking Bad, if not better. By the end of it you will laugh, you will cry, you will scream at the actors for what they are doing, you will hate them, you will love them, you will not understand them, and you will understand them completely. At the end of the series, you will be left shaking your head and wonder if you would have done it any differently.

The option N was a good bit more than the regular PPO- so you'd recommend it?

I'm PPO-A this year... I haven't been to the dr yet, but my wife has and it's been fine.

I agree, rare in August. The bottom 10-15 of the reserves on DTW 7ER B got unstacked in August for the first weekend.

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...



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?
Funny stuff. I am senior on the ATL M88B, hoping to go to the 717A someday when I can hold it as a line holder. I used to fly the 767 Dom in ATL, but all I was doing was allnighters. No thanks. MSP 73N?? Really? Thanks for all the contract help though. Just remember, short duration, fewer RJs, ratio, 20% raise 3 years, good deal. Have a great night.

Bill,

Its not what I wanted, but its a workable contract and we can go from here. It will require some changes in a few things that will cost capital but that's OK.

I'm ready to get use every opportunity we have.
