I also encourage others to sign up.
Two indirect positives:
1: No stressing medicals.
2: If you want your medical back, these people are financially incentivized to be in your corner working with the FAA to make that happen.

For those that are on the fence about the loss of medical, you can insure for any amount you want and still get the benefits of medical consultation, etc. So instead of insuring for your full salary, you can just select something a lot lower and still get tons out of the plan.
Even as a younger guy I plan on signing up. Never know when you'll get a "surprise" at a medical, and be SOL.

You never know. And getting on later more be more difficult that you may think. Get in now with minimal coverage but be included. You can adjust your insured salary up and down at any point in time later on.

I signed up for the default amount. 7k for a couple hundred monthly, no brainer.
I wouldn't be surprised though if we don't get to 25%, this pilot group is so apathetic.

How can anyone sign up for a policy that they have no idea what is in the details?

Well being that plan details have been asked for countless times with no answer I was on the fence. After calling Harvey and asking about the plan details I was told they would write the policy after we signed up. I then decided I would not be signing up.

I gave them a pass and signed up, but of course I can drop out immediately if I don't like the policy details when I see them.

Search for "medical" in your SWOL messages, and you'll find a good amount of info sent over the past couple months. Or go under SAPA on your EFB and download the "Loss of medical insurance info". The details of the plan are also presented when you go through the sign up link, as well as exact monthly pricing for whatever coverage amount you choose.
I am pretty sure the reason they aren't writing the policy immediately is because we need 25% pilot group participation, but don't quote me on that. Any SAPA rep could answer any more questions/concerns.

I agree SAPA communications are just pathetic.

I signed up. Decided to go with a lower coverage amount to keep it affordable. Mostly want to support the pilot group to push it over the 25% participation required and keep this benefit as an option for the future.

The entire thing was done in the typical sapa form and it is 100 percent unacceptable that the forum has been down throughout all of this.

Everyone will now see each awarded line in all bases.
See who got what and why they didn't........
But thanks for clarifying the obvious.
