Most of those you cite are RINO's, not conservatives. If they're in the tank for the insurance industry then by definition they're not consumer friendly. A pox on all of 'em.
 
Wow. i cant believe what i just read.
Planes shouldnt move the next day or alpa should be voted in, however the company will do what they want and delay until a contract gets ratified. Unbelievable
 
Yes you would hope things are better than Mesa but the industry is always driven to the lowest denominator. Mesa is ALPA they pay 2% and have horrid insurance.
 
No doubt that Obamacare passage and mandatory enforcement effective next year was the final straw for JB.. with its guaranteed coverage, kids to 26 etc... the financial facts are that many businesses will be killing there health care programs in favor of cheaper costs and less admin costs...

This has already happened around the country outside of the Airlines.... What will be difficult is of Romney get elected and goes to cancel the program.... it will be a mess in any case... it's a brave new world of survival...

Read it and weep juicer.
 
In case anyone missed it an ER visit will now cost you a minimum of $2600/$3900.
 
This is a problem for all of us. JB will now have a cost advantage that others will have to compete against. Hopefully we hold the line with our CBAs. Check out the Airline Industrial Labor Conference. They collude on things like this and if it works at JB, expect other managements to start whittling away our plans. Shame on you anti-union pilots. No CBA to try and prevent this.

You're absolutely right. I see you have flown a C17, do us a favor and contact every B6 C17 driver you know and share your sentiments. And no I'm not blaming military pilots for our dilemma, each demographic has its issues.
 
probably alot cheaper to just go to church more often, eat less red meat, drink more red wine, ejaculate more (doc says it lowers risk of testicular cancer) and load up on motrin if you have kids.
 
I believe that this will close the margin for union representation. Just about everyone will be on board now. This is probably JetBlue's plan, get the inevitable union in, then delay the negotiation process as long as possible. Genius.

Noooooooo SIR!! Mr. Bardger is happy to let you know that he is on the exact same plan as all his employees. He's just like you and me. Just like the ramp rats and the flight attendants making $25-$40k a year. Just like the first year FO's making $40k a year. Yep he's just like us on the same plan making in a week what it takes us a year to make. SAME!

On a side note... Mr. Bardger also won't ever have to worry about those pesky out of pocket expenses for having a child. All us breeders will just have to own our children as well as our health.

This change has been in the works for three years. It was coming before Obamacare was close to passing.
 
In the DR starting pushback

Dude you look at this L route puts us right through the weather up L453

Okay let me fire up my cellphone and call dispatch.

Fire up your phone?

Ya man so we can get a new route

Screw that your phone will sync all your text messages and flica alerts and emails will sync at a cost of about $35 and then you will spend $40 making a call with connect fees.

I have a better idea airinc phone patch

umm yaa that works

25 min later patch complete new route loaded and ready for departure. Its not my fault that i went illegal for the next days turn and am sitting home with my family a day earlier. If the company wanted that option they can buy me a cell phone

He won't have to worry about any of those pesky out-of-pocket expenses for ANYTHING because ALL his deductibles and premiums are reimbursed by Jetblue.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. And that is saying something.

Tell me, were companies required to offer health insurance before obamacare? How much was the penalty for not providing health insurance before obamacare?

Dude are you serious? Bro jetbue sucks!
 
Jetblue is so pathetic that the homosexuals running this place are actually attempting to blame the collapse of our health plans on Obama even when they started the process 8 years ago and they know full well that jetblue doesn't even OFFER a "cadilac" plan to tax.

They don't care at all if their twisted "values" convince 10,000 people to vilify the first President to support their right to marry. They ONLY care about their stock grants and their bonuses.

Money beats "values" EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Gotta love "flexibility" ..... in every sense of the word.
 
Smarta$$ is just a dumbA$$.. I can guarantee you that he was one of the company rats at 9e who ran to the gate to get a ontime and drop the brake while the cargo door is open. I mean this guy will go above and beyond to defend jetblue at any cost. Now that's some serious koolaid poisoning.

You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. He wasn't defending the horrible health care changes, he was just pointing out that Obamacare wasn't to blame. JetBlue is to blame.

Impressive bigotry. Your mother must be proud. You sure you don't want to blame the Jews or Blacks too?
