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

Poolie question on dental insurance. So what is generally accepted as the better deal with respect to cost and options. Military Retiree Dental or Delta Pilots Dental plan. Assume family of 4 and 2 kids both needing braces

Thanks in advance.

I think you'll find that Delta is significantly cheaper for dental. Tricare for medical.

Yes, the run order is drops, then white slips, then swaps.

I think I know the answer, but here's a variation on the question:

Does PCS run drops for all pilots, then WS for all pilots, then swaps for all pilots? OR does it run drops/WS/swaps for one pilot, then move on to the next?

Please forgive my contract reading comprehension and laziness. If you swap a trip- into a 3day for 2 day trips- are you pay protected for the cancelation of the 2 last legs? The credit for the 3 day is 7 hits greater than the credit for the 2 day trips if that makes a difference. Also, are you pay protected on a gs pickup in the same scenario? Thanks very much.

AF/KLM reduces, Delta gains. Delta reduces, AF/KLM gains. Be ready for lower than expected numbers and "the sky is falling" approach.

You might want to take a look at the financials of the 3 big Euro carriers. Then take a look at the rate of expansion of the ME3 and Turkish into their markets. Collusion? Hardly. It's a distorted market. You're right, it's going to get ugly, but not for the reason you think.

As AF/KLM restructures, how's your scope clause looking?:rolleyes:
