Insurance options that poor? Mind sharing what a husband and wife would pay? Any idea on next Capt class?
Thanks.

Are you sure about the FO's? I was told they were unsure on when the next FO class would be!

Their plans are utterly ridiculous. The basic family plan is $1000/mo. The mid level plan which has $8000 max out of pocket is around $550/mo.

OK, now take this for what it's worth, but Tampa 2 posted in his bullet points that the monthly contributions are between $90-$300/month, which was confirmed by UNoobsHaveNoClu. My guess is that if you were told up to $1,000 per month, then that's what is charged at the beginning and for some time thereafter. If I recall correctly, AE new hires have to pay MUCH higher rates for the first six months or something like that. After whatever the time period is, the rates come down to "normal" levels.
