What are the chances Muschamp is fired?

I say pretty good.

You know after watching Les Miles be interviewed I can't imagine how entertaining a Les Miles coached Johnny Manziel would have been. CBS would have been printing money.

 

FWIW, If you are a Flightline customer, you can now go into FLiCA and set trip filters, and it will send you email or text message alerts to open flying that meet your parameters.

Go to Flightline.com, and click on the FLiCA.Net icon to set up the log in. Unlike other airlines that use Sabre for Crew Scheduling, FLiCA is for DAL pilots is extremely limited in functionality. You can't drag and drop trips, you can't do any open time transactions or even print your schedule.

But the one thing that works is the email/text of open trips. It's under "Alerts" on the side menu.

Everyone that knows this little secret will probably now hunt me down, but hey, fair is fair.

Gus has done a nice job of turning around the Tigers.

 

...Thanks...

 

It's like someone said: "you do realize those are the same players from last year, right?"

Coaching is everything. Evidently so is the weight room. Auburn evidently skipped allowed scrimmage time to hit the weights in the off season because the players were far from where the Gus and Ellis wanted them to be.

 

There are a couple of things to think about:
1. Vacation slide happens during the normal line building process. Coverage happens before the normal line building process. PBS cannot slide your vacation into a coverage pairings. Thus, vacation slide has no effect on coverage.

2. It is important to realize that the change is from bottom up denial to top down inclusion. With prefer off, the change is from right to left denial to left to right inclusion.

Even though the right to left has changed it has also been changed from denial to inclusion. In a way very little has changed. The important thing is the top is more important than bottom and in the case of Prefer Off, left is more important to right.

The significant difference between the two is that now PBS is able to consider a lower preference even if it was unable to honor a higher preference. Previously, PBS would have to deny all of he lower Prefer Off, Set Condition, and Avoid preferences in order to remove a higher preference that was the bottle neck. Likewise, PBS will consider a right date even if it was unable to honor a date to the left.

 

Couple of insurance questions. Have used the Gold HRA the last few years, but based on the evaluator the Silver HRA comes in about $700 less per year. From what I can tell the only difference between the two besides the lower premium is you get less delta dollars. Worse case is I hit the max family deductible but with the savings on monthly premium it cost $1000.00 more. What am I missing???

2nd question. Does anyone use(is it allowed) to use the dependent care fsa for pre K(mother's day out type program)?

Thanks

 

We use the Dependent Care FSA for my daughter's (3 yrs old) preschool, she goes 3x times a week. The place has differing hours, she could go in just the morning, all day, just the afternoon,et c. As far as I can tell, as long as it's a preschool or something similar with an address and Tax ID, it's fine. I fax the receipt in one a month and get the money in about a week.

I'm not exactly sure what a "mother's day out type program is" - is it more of a drop-in place? As long as it's a business with a tax ID, I can't see why UHC wouldn't allow the reimbursement. Of course, UHC just follows the IRS, so they're the ones to look for the final word.

 

If you have a family with little kids, definitely DO NOT do the Silver HRA. The biggest plus for it is what you identified-low premiums. The negative is the deductible side. Both in-network & out-of-network is high and we've had several instances where a family has a castrophic event using the Silver HRA and gets hit with massive $20k+ bills. The Silver HRA was designed for healthy younger single person who wants basic coverage and "some" catastrophic protection. If you live in a major Hub like ATL most if not all the medical provides are in-network and most of your needs will be covered. But if you live in an area where UHC isn't pervasive...you should check the costs for max-deductible for out-of-network.

For most pilots...you should be looking at the Gold HRA or HSA and run the medical planner. Most likely the Gold HRA is better unless your family is a major user of medical or needs a lot of meds (HSA includes the meds in their deductibles and the HRAs do not).

 

Nerd,
I had the same questions. The plans look very similar on paper once you subtract the delta dollars from the gold's premium. The gold is still slightly more expensive. I still went gold after comparing our historic data and comparing the plans side by side.

I don't think you are missing anything. Just worst case it and decide.
