That's how we roll on the 73. We just kneel. It keeps the blood moving, looks like we're Tebowing, and prevents blood clots. We also do PX90 to stay awake. The problem is that when we jump with our rubber band thingys we hit the SWA dictated 1970s version overhead.

Given that our CEO was their CEO (CFO?) in between the time he was at NW and here, I don't think there's much of a chance of that changing.

He doesn't run the DOD (yet). So, in the meantime, he shouldn't have any say in my military retirement benefits. In fact, as Slow pointed out, experienced military aviators who don't engage in the company benefits are a huge advantage to DAL.

What about spouses with better benefits? Not just a military vs civilian thingy. My captain uses his wife's healthcare. It's way way better than any of us get now. I need to get a sugar mommy....

Hoser,

I kept my FDX insurance when I came to DAL......my RETIREE health insurance was far better, and much cheaper than DAL active insurance.....hard to believe.

Regards,
BG

Most company's are probably going to do what UPS has done. If your spouse can get health care though their employer they will either force you to drop them or pay a premium for it. My wife's play is 175 per pay period (26 per year) if I can get coverage. Makes her better plan senseless and they know it.

Or, we need push back on Obama and make sure this abortion doesn't go through. Nothing political here. When our govt passes a bill that is so revolutionary without reading it or absorbing the negative impacts to the nation, industry, honest taxpayers, etc, its wrong. When UPS and DAL release press about their objection....huge red flag.

Oh, Obamacare will go away, its the associated tax hikes that won't.

I don't understand that. Assuming you are talking about health insurance alone, why exactly would military guys that don't use the company plan be a huge advantage to Delta?
