I believe Clint's full quote was something like this:

"We shouldn't be bailing out the banks and car companies. If a CEO can't figure out how to make his company profitable, then he shouldn't be the CEO. I'd blow a hole in his face and go inside. Sleep like a baby.""

You just asserted that we are "contractually protected" from that in Section 25. You are clearly not engaging us in good faith.
Just to pile on...

The HSA just changed to a co-pay (90-10). So instead of 100% coverage after the deductible, you have to pay 10%.

WHOA!

So what's the point of that plan now? $4500 + 10% thereafter? The goal was, as Slow mentioned, hit $4500 (mostly out of pocket unless incurred at the end of the year) and be done. $375/mo and $300 after tax deduction? Now if you're kid goes in for a $23,500 bill as Slow mentioned (or a typical broken arm and surgery from falling from a tree which was $21,000 in the case of my niece) then you owe $4500 + 10% or $1850 and then 10% from that point forward.

Man I wish I was rich to afford our medical payment pla... I mean insurance. It's like all the costs of no insurance with the premiums and higher bills of insurance.

If you don't like the slate of committee chairman, work to fix it.

Won't get fixed, you say? Recall your local reps. ALL of them. No BS. No "well, he's a good guy"...recall him (or her) and vote in someone else.

While you're at it, get some resolutions passed that provides for MEC election of ALL committee chairs, publishing all of the FPL and require everyone on the MEC to wear fuzzy pink bunny suits. Put some check and balance into the system.

Put your money where your mouth is. Not just you, but every single person here who ****es and moans about the status quo.

You're a sharp, funny guy Clamp. You could run a website www.recallallthereps.com. You could coordinate the actions of multiple councils, and, by the looks of things, you have a willing audience here to start with.

THIS is the major failing of the DPA, and why they remain a sideshow.

Nu
For discussion purposes I'm going to copy and paste your quote and my response on the DPA thread but really all I am doing is pasting this:
DPA: Why can’t we just change ALPA from within?

I don't think 80 meant the USAF had F-18s, I think he meant the F-18s had the USAF.



FTB, ready for his well deserved *** whipping from Ferd and Buzz in 1... 2... 3...

Of course Buzz, before you beat me down, realize that's a MD product taking out a Lockheed one. I'd totally find that unacceptable, if I were you I'd take that out on Ferd.
