There is no post-Medicare coverage for pilots retiring today.

Guys,
What do you think about trying to change our travel benefits for the better? I am not sure what we should try for, but nonreving in the summer is continually getting harder.
Some possibles alternatives could include:
Positive space vacation passes.
Discounted tickets that are actually discounted - unlike fly confirmed for (not) less.
Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

I've thought about that also because the current load factors (great for Delta) make it increasingly difficult to non rev especially as a family.
I'd like to see an annual allotment of "one great team" type passes for all primary pass riders.
For the "I-don't-care-about-that-crowd" and the "what-are-you-willing-to-give-up-for-that-crowd" (see above) I'd be happy to take our non-rev system to a 3-tier plan:
- $0 Jumpseat privileges
- $50 pass rider benefits as we have now
- $500 access to annual one great team passes
I thing the $500 access fee would make this plenty "cost neutral."
Cheers
George

I doubt I'd pay $500 to ride on passes. I hate going to the airport on my days off already, for only $50/yr.

Note the trend. Delta & Alaska up. United & Southwest, down.
Told you Delta and Alaska were not aiming at eachother. They have a coordinated fire solution on Southwest and U-Cal.

I didn't elect a single one of the entrenched bureaucrats. Some of whom actively post here to undermine our reps' influence, some of whom are concerned only with preserving their seat on the gravy train.
"Share a career?" Sorry, I don't get to collect fpl, get wined and dined by management, enjoy an expense account, and generally mooch off the pilots' dues. The entrenched bureaucrats most certainly do not "share my career."

My mistake then, as you seem quite willing and ready to believe management's every sound bite on the subject.
