Semi-Monthly paycheck for just the PPO health for a family is $233.90 per paycheck... If you're going to get an insurance for a family it's smarter to do this since kids tend to break things and do stupid stuff or if someone in the family has a reoccurring medical issue. $1000 deductible.

They have beat this horse to death. The chdp is cheaper and has the same max out of pocket as the ppo. I have had my family on both and the ppo is not worth the price along with the fact that the company pays us $1000 to have the chdp.

In the bases, I'm looking to choose a CRJ base where I can stay at with lots of hours, short time to holding a line and quick upgrade/where I'd be based after upgrade. If there is a mix of 2/7/900 would be good too. Any Ideas? Just did the OO CTP Course and Starting Ground 11/7. I was thinking MSP but seems a long wait after IOE now?

Thank you

The IOE wait will be everywhere. Chicago or MSP are going to be your best bet for what you describe.

As far as having the baby it depends on the insurance you have. My last I had the chdp and I spent about $3500 including the deductible, but it varies a lot depending on location and type of delivery. On the website they have a health care cost estimator that works really well that will put you in the ball park.

You should want to max out your HSA/year. So you should be looking at about $750 monthly doing that.

Our kids made us hit the max out of pocket. 10k at the time.

This new rehire policy is an amazing thing for this pilot group.
Those rehired retain prior longevity pay, but start over at the bottom of the seniority list.

Anyone care to expand on this policy? My buddy was hired back in 2010. He left and now was recently re-hired. Would he be eligible for this new policy?

Get based in any of the California bases, and when the baby comes you will get paid by the state for baby bonding. I took the full six weeks and was paid based on my best quarter at 66%. I did not live in the state, but was based in Fresno.

Thanks for all the info. Kinda scary for those of us living in civilized countries that have nationalized health systems...:D

By civilized you mean 70% income tax and a nine month wait list to see a doctor?

Funny I've only heard the 9 month wait to see a doctor quote from Americans. I've never heard it from people I know who actually live in a single payer countries. Most of my friends over there are appalled when I tell them I haven't been to a doctor in 15 years because I can't afford to go to one for any minor issues.

They certainly do pay more income tax than me so that part is always open for debate.
