Switched to an HSA this year. If you have an HSA, does your FSA become a "limited purpose" FSA account? In other words, the FSA can only be used for Dental and vision? Can't find a definitive answer on the myuhc website.

If you show “full” for the month, does the first day of the next month act like you are coming off an xday? (1000am earliest shortcall etc.)

Pretty sure it does NOT act like that.

Anyone know if there are any incentives for us as employees to sign up for a skymiles Card? Which card is the best? Thanks.

The better ones will get you kicked out of the Sky Clubs with a subtle shush and a head nod instead of airhorns and cattle prods.

There was a deal last year where employees could get the Gold Amex for no annual fees as long as you're an employee of Delta. I don't know if they still have that promo or if that was a limited time deal though.

Why would you want a card that you have to pay a fee to own?

If the tangible and monetary benefits are worth more than the fee .... and you take advantage of them.

Like hotel points, I have heard lots of guys that are platinum point members that get into the clubs and whatnot, but you have to spend a fortune on those cards. Well, way more than I typically spend in a year. But yeah, I guess if the incentives are worth more than the fee it might be worth it.

Loss of landing currency question
 
At what point will they contact you and either put you in a sim or get a flight for you if you are about to lose landing currency? Do you have any say in the dates or a flight? Will you actually go non-current or will they try to get you in before you drop?

I go non-current on 1 Feb. Yes, I've tried to Yellow and Greenslip. And yes I filled out the 14 days of availability thing in icrew (down to 4 days left...)

I have never gone non-current so I am not the best source, but from keeping up on the Forums I believe they will schedule you once you go non-current. From what I understand you want to go before you go non-current because it is just a few landings and no big deal. Once you go non-current you have a more rigorous syllabus. Not sure if its a big deal or not but in either case its probably too late for you.

I would call scheduling tonight or call your CPO tomorrow.
