you planning on never getting sick or needing a doctor after you retire?

I love the fact that I have a tax free place for money to sit. Then when I’m old and tired I don’t need to spend any of my 401K in order to stay healthy.

My retirement healthcare needs are met. I know not everyone can say that but for me and a good number of others, we don’t need an HRA

sooo you voted for recall with not knowing who is going to replace them? Hmmm smart good luck with that

A dead corpse would be better then what we had.

We don't need reserve improvements because I'm not on reserve.
Sound about right??

I’m also with Tricare, but I see the RHA as a big opportunity. I agree a cash over cap option would definitely be nice, but right now jamming an extra few thousand $$ a year into an RHA for a few years and then letting it sit and grow for a couple decades is a pretty nice way to cover most everything that Tricare/Medicare/whatevercare doesn’t cover in retirement.

I’m retired on Tricare Select. It’s not free now, neither are glasses, premiums, dentists, etc. Pretty good option to keep on the books IMO, particularly for those of us under the spill cap.

There you are, right on cue, classic.

“Apparently”? Based you projecting your drivel?

Care to link a post where I support TI, TA1, or the best one - autocratic rule. Jerry, YOU are the guy who fed at the trough for years, took FPL, and bumbled your way through one of the darkest periods United pilots have known during bankruptcy.

You sir ARE part of the problem, YOU are a career ALPA stooge. But, keep talking smack because there’s a whole new crop of pilots who haven’t heard of you, maybe you can fool them.

What’s uncanny is your inability to address anything other than personal politics here. You’re not the future of ALPA, you’re only an embarrassing side note.

Says an anonymous poster who rants non-stop against recalling the so-called reps who brought us TA1 because we don't know who the successors are. Too funny.

Rants against recalls? My posts are full of the phrase “a motion to recall is always in order”, criticism of TA1, and no love for any rep. You sure you got the right user?

On candidates, you completely miss that nuance as well. I’m not surprised. But, go ahead and defend your failed past ALPA “service”, you ARE the very caricature of what you so bitterly criticize now. You’ve fed at the trough and delivered squat. But, hold yourself out there as a hero, there are lots of new guys who can still try to fool.

Yep.

My point remains that we should have a plan for when we’re done being angry. So far, we’re just angry, which is great for remove and replace. But, then what.

How nice. No wonder you are do defensive. Feel free to tell us who you are since, as you say.

Context is everything, not that you ever share context that doesn’t fit your narrow narrative.

The context is my disdain for anonymous ALPA members (and self-disclosed apprentice members) setting up anonymous websites to recall LECs to which they don’t belong. In other words participating in council business to which they have no claim.

That’s not how council representation is designed and it’s not how any bylaw is meant to be applied. I don’t think the outcome would have been any different with TA1, but I respect the ability of each council to guide their own outcomes.

Jerry, did YOU participate in any coordinated effort to influence any LEC business post-TA1 in any council other than your own council of record. Is that how ALPA policy should work? You don’t have to answer, we’ve all seen you at work.

That’s the context.
