Is this right about the Co. paid Health Ins?

Hey all,

I regularly send pilots your way, especially ones with big families, because of your Company-paid Health Insurance for the entire family. And this is what really sets you and NetJets apart from everyone else...

Is it true that it went away, and if so, wouldn’t that be an overall decrease in your total compensation? I am asking because I didn’t see any big outcry on this thread other than that the new insurance, while free, wasn’t as good or accepted. Also, I ran into one of your crews that said that your combined seniority list after the Mountain Aviation acquisition was over 1,000 pilots. That’s pretty awesome.

The Cigna insurance is superior coverage but significantly more expensive.
The health insurance when I first started here 6 years ago was fantastic. It got progressively worse over the years so yes, if you go for the Cigna program it's a net loss. The company submitted a memo acknowledging this, with a plan to adjust compensation some time in the near future. We also received a larger than usual end of year bonus and an additional week of vacation for those that have been here more than 5 years.

Payscale

I've seen a bunch of conflicting info on the pay scale for FO as well as the per diem. Anyone have the actual numbers?
