No one else seems to use it for some reason. I never liked the idea of an HSA- at least the way you have to do it at DL. I abhorred the HRA Gold... everything ended up being crazy out of pocket.
We use the PPO-A. I have done all the calculations I can come up with and it is by far the best choice for my family. Low deductibles, no copay and low yearly out of pocket expense (2000/4000). FOr some reason, DAL likes to push the GOLD. I honestly think the best deal is PPOA, unless you dont go to the doctors at all.

Good Choice 80!

PS Buzzzzzz, we are praying! EGBOK!

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!
Buzz, praying for your family. I am glad that DAL took care of you. That is the way it is to happen. Impressive to say the least.

Let us know if you need anything.

Those were exactly my reasons! They push the Gold so much, but all my math said the PPO. I'm glad you've been pleased with it... I think we're the only 2 at the airline with it, haha.

Thumbs up Prayers for Buzz and his family

Is this a cool place or what! I'll bet Buzz and his family gets as many prayers from us as a church.

From what I have heard, the costs for pre-65 year olds to get insurance is minimal to bridge that gap. IF that is true, I hope we don't spend anything on it. They ain't leaving anyway...

Are the retirement numbers dated May 2010 (the most recent I could find using the search function), the most current numbers?

I've got a friend separating from the military in a year or so and he was inquiring about the turnover numbers at Delta.

Thanks!
