Sad fact of the evening: No cerveza for 80 on a 24 hour layover in Mexico. It's election day, so no cerveza for anyone.

I think Carl and T were like the ghosts of Contracts Past and Contracts Future. They came to give wisdom, remind us how it used to be, and show how it could be, if DALPA fails to change their ways.
Or like (the chick) Starbuck in BSG season 4 - (SPOILER ALERT) there to show the correct way. Then, job finished, suddenly gone. Like an angel. A Tennessee angel, or a Greenskeeper angel. I think that's what happened here.

The majority of the full-timers are commuters, so it can be done. Yes, the family will sacrifice. Unfortunately, that is a cost of the job. There are also plenty of other positions which can be done with minimal travel time. Contact your LEC rep and ask how you can help.
I will consider it because there are things I was not happy about and while I voted and posted and wrote to my reps maybe I need to do more. Thanks for the thoughts.

Actually, that is not correct. The way the federal law reads is the first $50,000 of employer coverage is at no cost to the employee. After $50,000 coverage the company is required to report as income the cost of the additional coverage (in other words if you elect $500,000 of coverage the company is required to report the cost of the additional $450,000 of coverage as income). On my Dec 31, 2011 pay statement it showed $1200 of income for the additional coverage which is actually a fair price given that the coverage does not require a physical. As a point of note I recently priced out a new 10 year term policy (I am 55) and it would cost $75/month so you can get it a little cheaper (if you have excellent health and you're willing to go through the full application process with a physical). Also, some of this coverage can be maintained after retirement as a decreasing term policy.
