Saw new bid. I don't think 22 pilots is feasible unless we hire direct into 146

Will the withheld 145 FOs get to upgrade on this vacancy?

 

The rumor is by December.. may be sooner as more fos are coming online.. from what i hear 31 145s is the goal for summer flying next year and 30 plus pilots in the next bid.. 2 145 deliveries jan and 3 feb with a goal of 3 a month.. so 13 by year end, 15 jan, 18 feb, 21 mar, 24 apr, 27 may, 30 june..

That's what the story i last heard.. maybe true or wrong.. no word on what other hub these will be working out of buy I'm sure dca and lga are my suspects..

 

DCA and LGA would make sense. So would CLT. PSA barely does any 200 flying in and out of CLT compared to this time last year and I know that market is very much alive and well there. They don't call it the Carolina shuttle for no reason.

 

What's the healthcare coverage like at PDT... I remember them saying it's cheap, but what are the copays, deductibles and max out of pocket expenses yearly?

What % of procedure cost is picked up by he insurance and what % is picked up by the member?

How does sick leave work? Say someone injures themselves and requires surgery on a joint, or breaks a bone etc. ?

Are they put on disability paid for by the company, or do they have to purchase their own disability insurance or do they have paid medical leave?

Is their job protected from termination for medical related issues on day one or do they have to be off probation?

Kind of in depth questions but I'm transitioning military and have recently learned that you don't just get to sit around sick/injured at home for months on end getting full pay waiting to get treated by Tricare like you used to working for Uncle.

 

$600 dollars per year out of pocket per person. Total. Dental covers $1000 per year, but you pay a percentage. We have sick bank, short term disability and long term disability coverage. (All separate things).

For example, I got my tonsils out and got paid to sit on the couch for two weeks till the doc cleared me back to work. And that surgery capped out my $600 out-of-pocket, so I don't pay a penny to see any doctor I want for the rest of the year.

 

Awesome. Are all of those paid for by the company?

 

I thought by jets on property plus 36 months your premiums were going up to like 30% COBRA.

 

We currently pay about 18% of cost. For a family of 4 this equates to about $350/month for the PPO. This rate will nearly double over the next 3 years due to the introduction of RJs and the provisions in our RJ LOA.

 

but no pay increase to coincide with these coverage expense increases. so we get jets and less take home pay.
