The great thing about an HSA is that you put money in before taxes and as long as you use it for qualified healthcare expenses, it is not taxed when you withdraw it. It doesn't matter when you incur these expenses, now or 20+ years from now. It's my understanding that, if you keep good records, you can pay out of pocket for medical expenses now but submit claims and withdraw the money from your HSA for those expenses 20+ years from now if want (still tax free).

Once you reach the age were you can access your IRA's, it can used as described above or be treated exactly like a traditional IRA. When money is withdrawn for non-medical expenses, you will be taxed on it at your normal rate.

It seems to me to be one of the last good deals out there.

It's. A. Brand. New. Category.

They hardly have anyone trained for it, and even less flying for them. If the ratio of flying : pilots is super low, and it's December, file that under "good thing".
For those on reserve on the NYC 717, keep in mind you can, and will, be used to cover flying at other bases.

The problem I have with the new HSA medical plans is the maximum out of pocket expenses. The deductible is in line with this year (the part we pay 100%). But, and its a big but, once we go to the 80/20 split it's way more expensive. This year the 80/20 split has us paying a maximum of $500 for a total individual max out of pocket of $3000. The way I read next years is the 80/20 split has us paying a maximum $2500 so the max out of pocket for the year is now individual max is going to be $5000.

If someone can confirm or deny my conclusions, I'd appreciate it.

I should edit this and say: This is for the comparable Diamond HSA this year and Silver HSA for next year.

52 week high.

$43.08

Quite a gain if sold below 50 dma and bought on the up turn on volume and crossover.

Consensus target avgs. $51

We shall see about that one as it is a prediction made by humans.

They can be inaccurate at times

RFP WB scenario, we trade our 787 order for end of production 777W's and also order some A350's.

Have no idea what VFD and VSD are, but I know what VD is and I wouldn't be surprised if most of the 737 guys had that.

With jet fuel at $2.42 i think.it will hit $60 a lot sooner than anyone imagines.

IMO Delta will.earn $6 billion plus in 2015.

26% profit sharing.

Pay attention. Reducing profit sharing is a mistake.

Is there such a thing as a 777w and which line is at the end of production? As far as I know, there is a 777 production capacity deficit right now.
