Your PBS Committee has done an outstanding job over the years developing all sorts of tools to help out with these kinds of questions. Check out the following link and under "Calculators" there is a reserve pay spreadsheet that will tell you exactly how much a reserve line with vacation, etc is worth.

Thanks Herk!

Haven't seen that link.

Is it similar to what the embraers have? Every time I've been on their Jumpseat, I've thought to myself that their nav system was definitely not DC-9 lead in training.

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.

Denny

I have calculated a numerous amount of scenarios for my family. Currently we are Diamond, which will turn into Silver HSA. I will change us to GOLD HSA.

If we spend the same amount of money on medical/RX in 2015 as we did in 2014, it would be cheaper by a few dollars to utilize Bronze HSA.

But, a BIG BUTT :D,

If there is an extra ER visit or other Physician visits that inch upward our medical expenses for 2015 by a few hundred dollars as compared to 2014, it would be best to use the GOLD HSA.

GOLD HSA<---Higher premiums ($310/mos) but much lower deductible ($2600) and out of pocket Expenses ($2600+$5000=$7600). Also add your premiums to this for true expense.
**Delta will add $1600 to my HSA while I add another $421/month to equal the IRS limit of $6650.

Last year, it made complete sense to pick Diamond. This year, I pick Gold HSA for an insurance policy because the kids are more active.

If you are confident of your "good" health then the new BRONZE is the way to go.


TEN

Silver HSA: I assume this is just for employee so the Coinsurance is $2500 plus the deductible $2600=$5100 Max out of pocket plus premiums.

Family Silver HSA is $5000 coinsurance max plus $7800 deductible = $12800 Max out of pocket plus premiums.

IN NETWORK for Both^^^^^^

I've actually never been in the JS of an Embraer. Maybe FTB or 80 can post a pic of the display. I just tried. I'm too stupid.

I come home from my trip, completely exhausted, and the wife starts in...

"How was Dubai??"

Me, "It was really cold, again! I had to stay under Covers all day! I was shaking so bad I didn't get much sleep under the Covers all night either!" :eek:

(in my mind!) ;)

When it comes to Delta, however:

For pilots it will be the 77E

For flight attendants it will be the 77R

For Crew Resources it will be the 77N

For Travelnet it will be 773.

:D

DALPA will never ever give out this info.

Or 2004 hourly Delta rates plus inflation

Or the 15 billion and counting we have made in concessions and counting.

Raymond James presentation is worth viewing from today. United and American presented too.

One thing was clear, Spirit taught them to add lots of seats on existing fleet. Imagine the increased profits going forward.

Wish we got paid for each good bye with our hats on.��
