Default Health Insurance

For you married folks with kids, how much per month is withheld for health insurance at your airline?

Are the deductibles/co-payments reasonable?

At Trans States it was outrageous. For a family plan it was somewhere between $700-$800 a month.. Didn’t matter if it was just you and the wife or you the wife and ten kids, same price.. I think it was reasonable if it was just you and no family but that’s not what I needed..

PNCL $145/mo family

1% or $30 for single.

LTD/STD/LIFE/VISION seperate. Life covered at $10K or 1yr guarantee wages at company cost, more coverage is seperate/extra.

This will be going up though in a new agreement.... Whenever or whichever agreement that is....

One thing that I have noticed is that often it is cheaper to buy private insurance then to join the company plan.

At Lakes it's $152/mo for just myself. I think that includes dental as well. If I remember correctly, it was $118/mo at TSA and dental was another $16 or so.

Actually, there is no way that can be true.

That is a very, very good family rate. That's even better than some of the government agencies and school districts in my neck of the woods.

Since someone mentioned government employer insurance, my government job actually gave me 1400.00 in medical allowance. Anything that was not used was paid back to me. Once I flew for the regional with a turkey on the tail I paid(if I recall) about 150.00 a month. About on par with others have said at other regionals. I would think the company plan is always better than going it alone?
