The company plan pays 60% of your salary (up to 270K I believe) for two years, then it drops to 50%. The FDX MEC supplemental plan pays on top of that, 17% of your salary (up to 1 million), or the ALPA plans have different payouts, and those are to age 65. You have to file for social security disability if you are on LTD, which is a serious paperwork drill.

I'm not sure of who you are talking about that lost their medical yet were denied LTD, I have never heard of that. Obviously if you were able to get your medical back and go back to work, you can't just keep collecting disability till age 65. People unable to collect on the ALPA or FDX MEC policies either didn't purchase the policy or had something medical they had hidden from the insurance company when they applied, I'm assuming.
