And, as a general rule of thumb, it would be better that our pilot group pull itself up by its bootstraps and use our leverage to negotiate low or no-cost health insurance plans that fully cover the medical needs of ourselves and our families rather than relying on the kindheartedness of our corporate executives to get the job done. Depending on overlords to take care of a group of people hasn't seemed to work out well historically. Look at Venezuela and Cuba.

Yep, as a general rule of thumb, it's almost always better to go with the regular plan. There are a few exceptions, so you'd need to look into the details to determine if you are one of the exceptions.

Maybe a NetJets guy can chime in, but I understand they have no-cost medical for them and the family.
I feel bad for our NC though. Unless they knock my socks off with what comes out in the first AIP/TA, I'm spring loaded to vote NO, and if UAL's rumored AIP is any indication, it'll be an easier NO than TA2.

I had 2 major rotator cuff surgeries and a cut achilles and they were, combined, under $700 out of pocket. It would be good for our NC to talk to them, maybe get some angles on it.

It was good coverage, but it was not no-cost -- it was no premium. I'm sure that's what you meant, but there were still deductibles and co-pays, which could be very significant if you wanted to see an out-of-network doctor. I'm on the Regular Plan at SWA now, and it's very comparable. Out-of-network coverage is actually better on the Regular Plan than it was with my Netjets plan.
