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

Also using TriCare, my understanding is you cannot select the DPMP Dental Unless you select a DPMP medical plan. So, if you are using TriCare (did not select a DAL medical plan)you should only have one selection on the Dental selection area.

I had the DPMP option until I stepped through the Options and then it disappeared.

I got this info from the ALPA website talking about the DPMP plan.

What page did you read that on? I don't think that is correct. You do not need to be enrolled in any medical plan to get dental, you just have to elect no coverage. I carry Tri Care and have been using Delta Dental the whole time I've been with DAL.

At the BOD Andy Manilla (SLC rep) and Armando Gomez (ATL rep) were instrumental in making ALPA's position not raising our retirement age above 65 and also maintaining the 1500 hour rule.

As time goes by the pressure to lower safety standards by desperate managements will, IMO, become severe.

I'm sure they can explain it better, but I thought this was some great work.

To get the DPMP Dental Rates you have to be enrolled in DPMP medical coverage (it's a package deal). Completely agree that you can get Delta Dental (now MetLife) without selecting any medical coverage.

Looks like its a 7 dollar difference, per month. But, that is misleading based on the price of the DPMP monthly premium that is required to be purchased to obtain the DPMP Dental Rates.

The rumor I heard was, they were coming from Jet Airways (Indian carrier) and at the last minute they backed out.

Something about having to get the smell out first.... :eek: :D
