Isn't that $70-$190 just for medical? You still need to figure in the dental ($15) and vision ($9) per pay check per month as well...

Also new in 08' is company paid life insurance of 500k at no cost. Hope this helps.

It is not completely company paid life insurance. You have to pay the imputed taxes on it monthly, whether you want to or not. You cannot opt out on the insurance.

How is Delta dental anyway?

Good dentists don't take the insurance I have now, so over all what is your experience with Delta's options of dental? Are there options?

Thanks

Also need to figure in the yearly deductible, which is about 1500 a year for family.

Are there any co-pay's?

true. The IRS requires you to pay taxes on premiums the company pays at your behest on life policies over $50,000. So if $50,000 in life cost delta 50 bucks per year and $450,000 cost delta $240 per year, then yes you will have to pay taxes on the $240 as income. So depending on your tax bracket you get half a million dollars in life insurance for anywhere from 0$ to 40$ per year. Is anyone really complaining about this?

There are several options all with different copays and deductibles. Obviously the lower the premium the higher the deductible. I think all the plans cover yearly preventative visits at no co-pay or out of pocket cost. (ie mammograms, and checkups) Also an HSA plan which if you're healthy can become another tax sheltered account to built retirement money in. i was just answering the monthly premium question. I would get writer's cramp if i wrote about all the different pros and cons of each option.

Sorry to change the subject a little..

What is the gap between the indoc and the a/c training? How short and what's the londest you heard of?
Do they give you a choice or is it a set schedule?

How soon in training do you know your schedule up to the check ride?

Thank you

They gave us our sim schedule by the begining of the second week of indoc. The shortest break was about 7 days (767 ATL select) and the longest was about 3.5 weeks (M88 guy). The class behind ours had two guys only get 4 days off between starting the training schedule. There was no choice but if you have some life event or something that you might need to do, I am sure they will work with you. That schedule has your ENTIRE training on it, so you will know when your checkride will be. Now, this being said, since Delta is putting so many of the new hires into the 757/767/767 ER program, there will be some difficultly in getting everyone through the sims. There is a limited number of them and from what I have experienced so far, there is a real lack of instructors to conduct the training. So those above days between training could be off for the next couple of classes. Does that help any?

I am in this process right now. You should have gotten a Form 100, basically your separation orders that you did your outprocessing with, and let them know that the 214 is on the way.
