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

PilotFrog, I'd definitely NOT do the Ruby. Your medical costs will sky rocket with a wife and possibly a child. Trust me - I've got the T-Shirt.

Look at the Gold or the Diamond.

Gold = moderate premiums, moderate deductibles
Diamond = low premiums, high deductibles

Gold works great for a pilot with kiddos. We had a child on the Gold plan, and the 1500 plus my 1000 HSA paid for everything as well as the normal checkup for our three/four year old.

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

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

Thx
They had 8 hours to figure it out, the problem occurred 30 minutes out of EWR. Weren't they talking to Boeing via satcom or their own mx?

Yeah that's a dead giveaway when it comes to the location of the photos. Different than this which was on someone's twitter account like that Qantas (without the u) A380 with a blade sticking through the top of the wing or this twitter pic:
