Mark,  If Delta covered 49% of the retired pilots medical plan, the plan would have qualified for the HCTC.  Delta deliberately went to 51% to make their plan ineligible for the tax credit.  Premiums for a good health care plan with the tax credit were significantly less that paying 49% of the Delta plan.  For a retired pilot at 64 and his spouse, Delta now charges $29k, plus deductible and 20% for their medical plan.   Again, deliberately pricing the Delta plan, way out of reach.  This is for one of the heathiest population groups. When I retired, I looked at the Delta term life insurance.  Their price was 7 times the rate for any other insurance carrier.  Of course, ALPA had to sign off on this  abuse of long term, dedicated retirees.  Steve Wilkie
