Nope. Florida wouldn't touch it. My case, Viral Meningitis, picked up on a Kuwait City layover, finally went to arbitration for a settlement I am not at liberty to talk about, but it was much less than making me whole. Basically it covered my out of pocket medical testing costs.
The company wouldn't call it an OJI, so Florida and even Morgan and Morgan wouldn't touch it either. No workman's comp, no nuttn'. Oh, and don't forget, as soon as you are on LTD, you get no passes and cannot jumpseat, even if you are trying to get to Oklahoma to meet with the FAA... Don't ask me how I know.
Luckily the CPO got me a PS ticket to get there and back.
