A group policy as large as ours cost the company literally nothing and it’s a write off for them as well. Unreal you actually are for not getting something that is an actual benefit to your family. The company shows how much they actually care about families when they give benefits. As far as I’ve seen, AA doesn’t care about families. Benefits are garbage and that reflects what they think of you and yours. Truly insulting
My wife will be fine if I die. If we both die my sister will become a millionaire overnight even without any insurance money. She is 32, four years younger than I am. How much is "enough"? Just like the company isn't in business to care for my family (that is my job) I'm not in business to ensure (insure!) my siblings can live on a yacht in their early 30's. They have made their own choices in life, just like I have made mine.
Hey guess what, salaries are also a "write off" for the company. As are charitable donations for you. Why not just donate all of your salary, because you know, it's a "write off".
Let me decide what benefits my family, not you. It's like the guy suggesting commuters get free flights and free hotels on that contract thread. No, FU. That has a big cost and doesn't benefit anyone who chose to make the sacrifice and move to base (I commute BTW).
Pay, work rules, hotel language, medical benefits etc benefit everyone. (although I would like to see a credit for those who choose to not take a medical plan, my wife's ex employer gave her $250/month to not take any and we put her on mine at AA)
AA cares for my family by giving me a solid pay check and job security. Beyond that what else do you want them to do? Maybe they can send a rep over to change your kids diapers to show "they care".
