Don't forget that a 744A (and all fNWA) is not going to be on the DAL DC contribution until 31 Dec 13 as per previously negotiated DC harmonization. Not b*****g, just commenting the fact that the rosy total TA compensation projections don't apply to 40% of the pilot group until year 3 of the TA.

Take a look back at 744 ALV's for the last year and tell me how a 744A is going to average 87hrs a month, even with vacation credit

Is this not because of the targeting matrix that the pre-merger NWA MEC agreed to?

Thanks for outing me!? Okay, go ahead, YES, I MUST be this General Lee guy. Caught me! Which other site am I on again? You say it is FI, which stands for what? Is that Flight International? I must be a newbie here, with my 1900 posts. I take names of other guys, 6 years ago. But, I must be him.

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.
As a retiree, I think our maximum out-of-pocket costs are $3,000 for the family, and our annual premium is $520/year, deducted from our retiree paycheck. I've read that the Delta Gold HRA is $229/month, or about $2,700 annually.
I agree that finding a Tricare provider in a non-military town may be difficult.

I think the category to be in right now is the A330. A lot of those guys are crediting above 110 hours per month. I have to think that is a good part of what is skewing the company average to 87 hours.

Bill's sunny outlook is no better or no worse than the doom and gloom outlook that's become so prevalent on this board. My guess is that the mainstream of our pilot group thinks that thing are going pretty well now. Not great, but pretty well.
