Why not ask the mongers on the ***** board? That's why I deleted my account years ago: lots of fire starters, very little factual data, too many black helicopter fears over there.

Why do guys continue to bring ***** board cancers/concerns onto this forum?

Same reason guys bring APC stuff to the B***h Board - to get info, to spread a rumor, to entice an angry response, etc.

There's more of everything on the other board, including both good info and total bs (no hiring info though, so those of you on the outside looking in, you're not missing anything REALLY useful to you)

Just saw something on the spirit board about a problem with spirit health ins. Anyone have any info?
Our current health insurance (UHC) it isn't as good as AETNA, we all know that. But it works ok.

I can only speak from personal experience, my only negative so far is that I'm still trying to get back a $80.00 reimbursement from 03JAN13 for a basic cold med for my kid. I paid out of pocket because apparently we (spirit pilots) weren't on the system as of 03 JAN 2013 (UHC blames NKS and NKS blames UHC), bottom line today, after dealing with UHC and HR I still don't have an answer.

I purposely follow EVERY single step I was asked for the claim, just to see where they go and how long it takes, I can care less about the cost.

HR. asked my for the receipt and other copies of the claim 4 different times, I carry them on my phone so I can email them as I please. Ridiculous.

I've heard of similar situations, but nothing worse than this.
We have been to different Drs. since, and everything has been working fine.

I wonder sometimes if NK went to UHC to use as a bargaining chip for the next contract! Who knows.

Sailor, if that is the worst story you have heard you need to call Travis Wheat or Dave Morlando for an update. The MEC isn't arbitrating this just to get back your $80. They can bring you up to speed.

Gator, I haven't been here at Spirit all that long but I need to suggest to you that what ever you saw on the board years ago no longer exists today. There has been a lot of cleanup, even in the last year. Limiting yourself to APC only gives you a small part of the story.

Agree. I believe in this instance it dealt with the reduction and section 24.F.5.d which requires the reduction bid to remain open for 10 days.
