Now, they can stay on the plan for five more years. The exorbitant rate increase we experienced in January of 2017 is only the beginning. This plan is too expensive to stay viable, and will eventually implode as more and more pilots cancel.
Are you confident this is true?
It’s my understanding that while we still had 727s on property, pilots were not age limited on our LTD because the SO seat was not age limited
Disabled pilots typically stayed on LTD benefits until those benefits were less than their A fund defined retirement benefits
Years of Service credit continue to accrue under our current DB Plan
We are unaware how that will change in any new VB plan
