Volunteers
This email came out today, if anybody is interested, I know there might be some folks on the 120 LWOP.
Looking for volunteers to work with Gama’s Integration Chairman, and similar representatives from TMC and DPJ. There will be a PIC and a SIC line pilot from each Gama fleet, plus alternate (pic/sic) working with line pilots and Chairmen from the other 2 companies. The committee will be facilitated by a legal team; Wheels Up is their client. The group of pilots on the committee will be integral in helping Wheels Up management come to a uniform system for pay, benefits and other terms of employment.

Whoever is on that committee, kill and replace our crap health insurance, please.
all my family’s medical events have been billed back to us because our providers don’t know how to work with AMwins/IHP2/whatever their name is. I have to submit each claim myself and act as go between for my provider and AMwins.

The health insurance is actually very good. The problem is persuading the girl behind the desk that her office does in fact accept it. It usually takes a call from the health insurance company before they understand what they’re dealing with. It is frustrating for sure but the plan itself is very generous compared to others I’ve seen.
I’m hoping that we’re able to negotiate more vacation time and a better 401k match per years served on the Gama side. I’ve always said this is a great job but severely lacking when it comes to longevity incentives. This could make it a career destination. The way things are going in the industry most of us may be here a while regardless.
