UAL DC Plan (B-Plan) ?'s

The Well Insured Airline Pilot?
I know a pefectly insured airline pilot would actually be a CEO at a Big-3 auto-maker, a large financial institution, an airline CEO or a doctor or lawyer, but I was wondering what most people have (or are aiming for) with regards to insurance coverage. Term Life? Whole Life? Long-Term... -

Air fare questions....?
Anyone remind me why: 1. A round-trip airfare is usually cheaper or the same price as a one-way? 2. An airline gives a rat's a$$ if I have a Saturday night stay? 3. A ticket from Dallas to Austin can be danm near the same fare as Dallas to LAX? 4. Code-sharing isn't considered collusive? -
