And, I'm a 4 year Mad Dog executive.
Don't get me wrong, I will not settle for anything less than significant improvements in this next contract, but I don't see the need for exaggeration either.

I second this - all of our pay targets should be based on reserve guarantee (70 hours/month or higher if negotiated in the next contract). At least 20% of the company is stuck with reserve. While I fully support pilots being able to pick up extra time (WS/GS) I don't feel anyone should have to do just to make a decent living.

Any advice on healthcare options since we are in open enrollment?
I am going from single to married and hope to be expecting a kid next year so I want to know what my best option would be for that kind of change. Currently on the HSA Ruby plan but want to know what people think would be better for possibly having a newborn next year. And no I can't get Tri-Care, at least not till I get elected

Look at the Gold or the Diamond.
Gold = moderate premiums, moderate deductibles
Diamond = low premiums, high deductibles

BTW the pics of it dumping the fuel are really cool.

I agree with ACL, if you consider any of our healthplans great.

I think the CB is 27V
WHERE IS IT LOCATED EXACTLY?
