If he wants to roll in hot and talk tough to his future coworkers before showing up on the property--and out himself in the very same post--then he gets whatever's coming to him (which is probably nothing).

Default DPMP

Okay, I just went back and checked my Open Enrollment Confirmation Statement from this year. The plan I used is called the Delta Pilots Medical Plan.

The Delta Pilots Mutual Aid is not what I was asking about.

I had surgery this year and was out for about 3 months, this plan allowed me to go to the Surgeon and Hospital of my choice. I didn't need to get a second opinion(but I did) or jump through any pre-approval hoops. My Bills were pretty high (CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, drugs, doctors visits, home nursing visits, PT, etc.), but I was covered 100% after meeting my max out of pocked of $2000. IIRC, I paid the first $350 out of pocket, then the normal 80/20 split up to $2000. Plus, I didn't need to sign up for any of the Health Rewards BS.

This is plan that I was looking for in the 2015 Enrollment Flyer that the company mailed to my house. It is not included, except a small bullet point:

#15 DPMP prescription drug out of pocket maximum for family coverage will be limited to $8000.

In one of those PMs C130 should be given the inside info on the night Delta pays for the dinner and open bar during indoc. Tip: It's an opportunity to consume without fear of reciprocity, and at the same time give feedback to management about the idiots you've observed since coming on property.




I kid, I kid.

Are ebola fears responsible for the stock dropping over $2 today?? (UAL & AAL also down over 7%)

I don't see any news that addresses the drop and I have to wonder if there's some inside info coming about restrictions on air travel. That's not to say I wouldn't support keeping non-citizens from coming into the U.S. from countries experiencing ebola outbreaks.

I didn't know you were the kind to find guys who drop their pants fair game, but I consider that your choice, and will not judge you for it.

I also consider it a sign of maturity and tolerance to point a newbie in the right direction if you believe he's on the wrong track. I think that's how people behave, when they've been playing on the varsity for a while.

At any rate, the guy didn't say anything derogatory towards Delta, or inaccurate about the discussion on APC. He should sleep well tonight.

That's the way we do it on the other two boards I frequent.

Freaking idiots.

Speaking of which, is there any latest and greatest about Delta? I heard they are not doing the glass cockpit upgrade to the M88. And they opening a 717 base in NYC. And my start date is next Monday. And I am betting on a 717 to NYC because my social is pretty low. Ha.
Whoa big boy. Pull your throttles back a little. Before someone hast to do it for you.
