I know it's not new, but I'm just glad to see a majority of the votes actually go towards something worthwhile.
I flew with a Capt. who voted no for insurance after 9-11. His reason "Why should I subsidize someone else's career choice. I knew what I was doing when I chose this career." He had crossed the picket line in 83.

On a side note, COBRA doesn't have to be the only option. Granted it will all depend on family situations, illnesses, pre-exisiting conditions, kids, etc.
I am a single guy and when I was hired at CO I found an individual BC/BS (Blue Access Value 3000) policy online for $75 per month. A lot better than paying the $300/mo COBRA from my previous employer. Guys I talk to are surprised I found something so inexpensive. Some I have talked to said they just did without for 6 months because they couldn't afford COBRA from their previous jobs.
Again, you don't have to suffer with no health insurance or COBRA payments if you do a little research.

That's how I found mine for my zip, sex, age, etc. I did an individual policy not short-term. The short-term 6 mo policy was a few more bucks a month, but the continuing policy allowed me to cancel at any time anyway. And, to be safe, I wanted something that would continue on until I knew I had my CO health insurance activated. So I had one month of overlap in coverage (7 months total with my own policy).

Just got a letter in the mail from Al Brandano (CALALPA 170 chairman).
I will quote it so nobody can say I made it up, "We are a weathered elder pilot group with a history of strength, reliability, and survivability, along with a younger component that is yet untested, somewhat selfish..."
I'll stop there. CAL pilots have a history of strength? The younger CAL pilots are selfish? What the..! Am I reading this wrong? What a moron! Vote him out! The scabs are strong and the furloughed guys are selfish. That's just great.

On a side note lets not forget those affected by 9-11 and all those of you who did their duty on that day!
