Thanks for the replies to my questions above LLWS09R and hdgbug.
I’ve asked a family member of mine in healthcare and he has never heard of AmWINS. Do you think medical will stay free, and will the coverage be any good? Is there any internal info on this? There sure are a lot of moving pieces to the puzzle - TMC 135 certificate, WUP using other operators to fill in flying, and the change to insurance provider. I’d like to remain positive on all these things and can’t imagine a downgrade on any of them would help attract/retain pilots.

Delta partners with Wheels Up to make private aviation more accessible
Published Date 12/12/2019 7:05 AM
Delta Private Jets will combine with Wheels Up to establish one of the world's largest owned and managed fleets of private aircraft.
By Corporate Communications staff
As part of our focus on connecting people and creating opportunities, Delta has partnered with Wheels Up to make private aviation more accessible to individual and corporate customers.
On Dec. 12, the two companies reached a definitive agreement for Delta Private Jets, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta, to combine with Wheels Up to establish one of the world's largest owned and managed fleets of private aircraft.
The partnership will pair Wheels Up's membership programs, innovative digital platform and world-class lifestyle experiences with Delta Private Jets' renowned reliability, safety, service and scale.
"This groundbreaking partnership will democratize private aviation – making the convenience of private jet travel accessible to more customers," Ed said. "Wheels Up's lifestyle experiences and innovative digital platform, combined with the scale and service of Delta Private Jets, helps further Delta's mission of connecting people and communities worldwide through travel. This agreement is the latest step in Delta's ongoing effort to build partnerships that extend Delta's brand beyond its core business."
When the transaction closes, Wheels Up will have a fleet of more than 190 private aircraft and over 8,000 members and customers. Delta will hold an equity position in Wheels Up. The transaction will provide an array of new products and valuable features for existing and prospective customers of Wheels Up, Delta Private Jets and Delta to make private aviation travel more accessible to all. Details will be announced when the transaction closes.
Wheels Up Founder and CEO Kenny Dichter will continue leading the Wheels Up senior management team as it builds its partnership with Delta. Additionally, Wheels Up is committed to providing ongoing career opportunities for Delta Private Jets and Wheels Up employees, who provide world-class private travel, safety and service.
The transaction is expected to close early next year, and in the interim, Delta Private Jets and Wheels Up will continue to serve their existing employees, customers, members, partners and vendors in the same manner in which they do today.

The FO interview is pretty easy. They know you’re coming in to learn. Understand what an opspec is, alternate requirements, takeoff mins, and rest/duty rules. Phone screening followed by Skype interview I think. The “real” interview happens in the initial simulator training. We have a lot of ppl wash out at flight safety.

I’m still a bit put off by this AmWINS insurance plan. Sounds like Mickey Mouse stuff. Kinda worried that nobody’s ever even heard of it. 100% company paid insurance is great until they reduce it down from Cigna to United to AmWINS to what next? Middle-Arkansas Health Insurance and Chainsaw Repair?
