We are desperately trying to change this (BK contract leftover.)
It’s not really about best or worst. This is a place in the contract that deserves to be revisited. Obviously if it is over funded at our recent premium there is room to work out a benefit increase too.
Good luck over at AA. LTD is a vastly important thing to an airline pilot. This coming from a guy who spent almost a year with no income due to an injury in the days before UAL had LTD. All we had at the time was Permenant Disability which I did not qualify for. I was seriously injured, I couldn’t use my left arm for almost 6 months, and was on serious narcs for pain( neck injury). I was told by UAL, tough luck, I guess you’ll need to find another job. I was told by ALPA legal, that sucks I guess you’ll need to find another job.
