Couple of questions, I have applied already and was mostly wondering about the health ins you guys have. I did search the thread but didn't come up with much other than you switched from Atena to UHC. Mostly what are the deductibles? I'm paying a little over $8000 a year for our health ins $6000 deductible and about $2000 out of my check for the year, plus the fact that our ins is crap and often refuses to pay for things that have been pre-approved so I get random bills for another $3000. Any insight into your ins would be helpful.

 

We have several plans, I don't have the details for all of them.
For a family of four I pay around 280$ every other week. 11$ copay, prescriptions are pretty cheap and the deductible is around 750$ for the whole family or something like 250$ per person.
It's a bit tough sometimes to find a provider depending where you live, but overall i personally think that it's not so bad.
The only problem, the company can increase the premium by 7% every year.
Hope this helps.

 

Thanks that helps and sounds better than what I have!

802 on property with continued hiring and I'm low 730s, hired in March % wise I have quite a few behind me

 

Have fun in RSW tomor....er, later today. A couple long days of delays, high block time and a reduced rest redeye in the mix and I get to go home and you (at least I'm guessing it's you that got tagged, judging by the reserve coverage) get to fly my trip.
Hope your day goes better than the past few I've had.

 

Hiring going to 30/month for new rest rules and expansion. New seniority list that came out this week shows 802 pilots now. Almost 60 below me now as an April hire and grateful everyday that I get to live in base now and drive to work plus pick up junior man trips. Credited 130 hours last month and projecting 100 so far this month.

 

Great news for you guys and gals! Good news for the industry... end the stagnation! Thanks for sharing.
