Thanks in advance for your response. I realized I asked for opinions and we are all pilots so of course we have a lot of opinions! I grew up in the Lehigh Valley area. It is a great place to raise kids. Great schools, both public and private. My family stills lives in Bethlehem and I have a brother in high school. The high school he goes to offers some really good programs. Sports in the Lehigh Valley area are top notch also. The drive to NY is easy but traffic can be a nightmare at certain times of day. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. I am also friends with a couple builders in Bethlehem if you are considering moving there. I'm not a big fan of East Stroudsburg. |

I've been doing the Diamond HSA and for the most part have been pleased with the predictability of it. This year kind of stinks though as they transition to a 90/10 copay when you meet your deductible. The maximum out of pocket is $6k I believe. When I did the HSA vs. HRA calculator the HSA came out ahead by about $800. One of the benefits I liked about the HSA was that if you maxed out your contribution to the bank you pocketed at least $1500 every year that you could in theory bank to retirement and then use that money to pay for medical expenses in retirement. Now that we have the 90/10, if you make it to the $6k limit, you will only bank $150 into the account. Since there is no way to make extra tax deductible contributions they've taken away a big advantage in my book for it.
As others have stated, I like the HSA during pregnancy years because the kids can be expensive. My wife has four weeks to go before number 2 and we met our deductible in July. Everything now is a copay of zero. Very nice going into the holidays. Plus, if your wife is over 30 there are a lot of additional tests doctors run during pregnancy that can add significantly to your bill. The HSA takes that uncertainty out. |

I should know about this but I don't. How much is the discount usually? Where do I find out more? If they could fly confirmed it would make all the difference.
My parents did first class from TLH-ATL-TLV and back on confirmed for less for a pretty dang good price. We got my wife a confirmed for even less ticket to DTW for Christmas this year to make sure she got there. It ended up being around 250 bucks or so. |

Quick question guys.....I have misplaced (Hopefully not lost) my mini logbook I carry with me on trips. I started using it when I got hired here three years ago and since then got lazy and never transferred any of it into my actual logbook. Is there any place on icrew/deltanet that I can find my total time at Delta? I'm not looking for specific city pairs, night/day, approaches..etc......just a place where I can see my total time flown.
If not, does anyone know someone I can call to get this info? Thanks in advance for any info. |

Just out of curiosity...how do your parents get S2 and S3 passes? Mine travel as S3B. Does it change if you are single? By the way, take the record locator and you can check in online for her. You can print out the seat request from delta.com up to 24 hours prior to the flight. Saves a trip to the kiosk.
I had to talk to the ZRH station manager because the gate agents there kept making my parents S2 going to ATL (three times in 2 years) I didn't want to get the letter again that threatens me with a $300 fine and suspend my flight benefits for six months because my parents flew S2 instead of S3B transoceanic...
