Can someone please enlighten me on the medical benefits in the FAA Is medical 100% covered or just a really good plan Im working contract right now and the medical is killing me, ... even with the fringe benefits I receive.

Wondering how far off the take home is between a CPC and a contract tower job with medical taken into account. Considering taking the jump soon but have a family so im hesitant. Thanks in advance guys.

You can look up the dirrerent health plans on opm.gov (on the right side under "Health Insurance")

It's not like the military, instead more like the civilian world. The gov't (like a company) pays a portion of the premiums and you pay the rest.

As an example..I have Blue Shield of CA and pay $125.00/pay period for my self and my family.
