Metlife is what I'm using with UAL (think its offered nationwide)… pretty reasonable and good coverage overall… have been happy so far. I'm retired AF and use Tricare Standard since it gives more options and you don't need a PCM.

More questions:

- Does United pay for uniforms, shoes, luggage, etc...?

- What do you recommend for shoes?

- What do you recommend for luggage?

1. Yes on uniforms...No on shoes....and no on luggage
2. The black kind
3. See number 2

Seriously though....Uniforms are paid for and you are on your own for shoes and luggage. Buy whatever works for you and that you can pack for 5ish days in. For shoes, were what is comfortable and is a good looking dress shoe or roper boot. For the love of all that is holy, please don't wear the black tennis shoes...ever

For luggage see what airplane you get first, if it is the 737 good luck because it will get tore up with such a small space.
If t is bus or 757 I'd go to Costco and get their carry on bag with lifetime warranty. The metal frame bags are awesome, just very heavy and with a Costco lifetime warranty, you spend less but you get amazing coverage wth Costco.

There is a company store that sells luggage at TK... They give you a 20% off coupon on day 2... You can buy some pretty nice luggage cheaper than anywhere else... So hold off until you start.

slip on dress shoes or half boots with zippers will do the trick... Don't look like a slob and wear cheap shoes or black athletic shoes!

Uniform shop will let you deduct any extra uniform items off your pay check at you need to buy... You get a winter coat, suit jacket, hat, 2 ties, 2 pants, and 4 white shirts for free... Probably want to purchase another pair of pants or two.

Just received this:

Tank, I haven't seen this. Did you get an email or was it from a friend?

I emailed DENTK and this was their response.

Thanks Tank! I'll see you Tuesday.
