Unfreaking believable. Our healthcare options BLOW, slowplay. I'm literally at a loss for words other than just sitting here shaking my head.
UHC is a good healthcare provider, but our options are so dang limited under the plans we have and there's so much out of pocket... it's ridiculous. I was excited when I got hired and saw UHC... but it's been a big disappointment.
Even worse that I know you're on the inside at ALPA...

Deductible for his wife to have a baby - $4500
It was a C-section so personal drop 6 days of reserve at 3.88 per day at $96.28 per hour $2,246.
Total? $6,746.
This is what it costs a pilot. My point is this, if you have a kid you should get to use your sick days and not have to PD. You're already going to get a bill, if you're on the HSA and the baby comes early you may get hit with a $4500 bill in January. Sure by the end of the year it all works out but $4500 is a hard check for many to write.

Big airplanes, little airplanes, medium sized airplanes...He had a hud with the AOA and G load displayed in his face. Aerodynamics are aerodynamics. The flight was flown in clear weather broad daylight over an airfield. He strapped his butt into the aircraft and FLEW it. Impressive.

If you haven't noticed, there is about the same number of hardcore ALPA types as there are hardcore DPA types with most of us falling somewhere in between.

I guess I don't understand your question. Health care is just another expense to Delta. They pay hundreds of millions per year toward employee health care in addition to the amounts employees pay (premiums and deductibles). There is no profit motive as it is an expense.

Hey Ferd,
For the record, ol Clint said Chrysler should not have been bailed out, to wit:
But apparently that opinion changed when Chrysler handed the actor a check ....

Any insight on how the pilots fare as an underwriting pool?
