Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I don't understand that. Assuming you are talking about health insurance alone, why exactly would military guys that don't use the company plan be a huge advantage to Delta? :confused:

Well, we're talking about health care and Delta's claim that Obamacare will cost another $100 million alone. Military retires who chose other options like TRICARE (which is now also UHC) cost Delta nothing. If you believe Delta's assertion, military guys are saving Delta big bucks.

If spouses have better benefits, I bet they're already using them. Why wouldn't they? Of course, at this point, I imagine every firm is relooking benefits and the costs involved. Which is what our government failed to do in good faith.

Lets pass it and then read it. ***?:rolleyes:

They probably realized how stupid it was a day after suggesting such a notion. Then again, they did have the outstanding example of how efficient and effective the government system works when it comes to.....errr...give me a minute here.

Interesting...

Not long after ALPA published its stance against the Justice Department’s move, union president Lee Moak cosigned with 12 regional airline chapter heads an August 13 letter to members supporting American Eagle’s position against US Airways’ effort to “whipsaw,” or pit regional airline pilots against each other to gain leverage in negotiations for new fee-per-departure contracts. The Eagle MEC considers Moak’s support a victory, given ALPA’s fervent advocacy of the merger. Indeed, if any new merger agreement doesn’t address the “whipsawing” tactics described in the letter, ALPA might need to rethink its position.
