But be sure to drop a Thank You card in the mail for Parker for giving you this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

We can argue all day about numbers concerning who will be flying which fictional airplane 4 years after the first jet arrives. I was merely responding to a post about how the healthcare increase would be a net loss. The healthcare issue is about the least concerning issue of this LOA.

What percentage of your premiums do the pilots currently pay? And how much is the premium for your top plan?

So the most this would increase your healthcare costs is about $3000/year if you were on the family PPO coverage. That equates to about $2-3/hr. The jet rates give a much higher raise than $2-3/hr for CA even with a 12 vs 25 year scale. The F/Os break about even.

By my calculation, you need at least $4.04/hr increase just to break even.

Isn't that what PDT is worried about? PDT only has 350 pilots with 25 year old props. They can be replaced in a month without a hiccup in the system. The threat worked against PSA, but I think it'll work even better on PDT. There's a reason why PDT is the last to be approached by the new AA. "Throw us a bone AA!" That's what my friend at PDT said about the general sentiments over there. Either way I wish you guys the best. Met some very nice crew DHing or jumpseating on PDT.

Here I pay $220 a month for me and my wife on the PPO plan. That price will be going up every year. FOs won't break even at 35%...
