Man, we need to lock down some medical insurance provisions in the next contract--something more modern than the DPMP. Regardless of your political leanings, based on my limited research, BarryCare is going to jack up our premiums in a huge way--it's already started this year. Need to get a lid on that. I'd like to see an HSA with a quarter of the out-of-pocket maximum vs. the garbage we got in 2012. HSA is huge--our own money in our names.
Vision and dental need a huge boost, too--what a joke they are. We've got to get these things protected contractually before the balloon goes up. I'd give up a few buck each trip to see those improvements. (But not one seat or airframe on scope.)

I think we should get a contractual HSA that Delta puts in a % of our income just like our 401K. The contract should limit the amount the deductibles and premiums can rise on a yearly basis. I love the HSA theory, but the options we have don't work for families with the high deductibles. Get the deductibles lower and have Delta put some $$$ in the account and that would be the way to go.

But I feel we should be looking for reasons to raise the bar, not talk ourselves into lowering it
Incidentally, the HSA out-of-pocket max has gone up significantly more than 6% this year.

Hey guys,
This is a deviation from our norm here but I want to take the time to tell you fellow Delta brothers and sisters how proud I am to be a part of this team and this family. I flew the red eye from LAX to MCO this morning and went to bed at the hotel. In the meantime, my mother-in-law, whose only 59, had a stroke in Northern California. While she was being medevac'ed to San Fran for surgery, the CPSC called and woke me up in my room. They pulled me off my rotation, listed me for a DH home, and sent a crew van to the hotel to pick me up. When I got to the jet, the CA and crew were waiting for me, boarded me and fed me. I'm flying home right now and have no idea how things are going at the hospital but I'm so proud of Delta right now. Thanks to all you guys and prayers for my wife's mom please!

Not the first time I've heard good things about the company in situations like this. We do work for a great company!
