Isn't there a tax incentive for those on the DALs side with regards to health insurance? If you are getting PCGB money then ones health insurance can be tax deductible up to like $800 a month. I am not sure many of the DALs Capts know this, or I'm just a young guy and don't realize that they all know it down to the last $

Red Flag: Renewed interest in a PERP means Delta has more pilots than it wants.
Delta is smart to try to furlough off the top (the more expensive employees) before furloughing off the bottom (the least expensive employees). Still, this is not a positive sign for staffing overall, despite the fact that upward movement might result.

If there is in-fact, a renewed interest, I believe that it may be in order to help the company plan the retirements. Allow pilots to accept a retirement "bonus" and give the company the ability to mandate a separation time period. Right now the company has no idea when someone might retire and that has the hiring dept nervous.

Well, maybe. Hopefully it's not "hang on" to our jobs as the bottom half of the list is outsourced to regionals. I'm concerned about our narrowbody flying being consistently replaced, one "large RJ" at a time.
We have to fight it at some point, or this wave of hiring we are all counting on might not come to fruition.

My understanding is the Health Coverage Tax Credit pays 80% of health care premiums for those eligible. The requirements are you must be at least 55 years old and receiving benefits from the PBGC.
