^^^I'd still like to see LTD bumped a little bit, while retaining the DC contribution. I have a newhire classmate who was recently diagnosed with diabetes (in his late 30's). That extra 5% would probably mean more to him than the 15% that he can get to in 30 years.
If he needs the money he can withdraw it now. Even with penalties for the withdrawal he will be way ahead with 15% verses 5. If he wants to avoid penalties he can also look at the loan options. In addition our LTD was bumped quite a bit in the last contract with the elimination of the 80 hour cap. Does UAL have a cap?
