When pilots are unable to maintain their First-Class Medical Certificate at American, Delta, United, FedEx, or UPS they receive 50%-67% of their income from their company-provided Long-Term Disability insurance (often referred to as “loss of license insurance”). Those affected pilots continue to receive insurance payments until they regain their First-Class Medical Certificates or until they reach age 65.
When you are unable to maintain your First-Class Medical Certificate at Atlas Air you will receive 60% of your income from the company-provided Long-Term Disability insurance for only 24 months (36 months if you paid 100% of the insurance premium for the extra 12 months of coverage). If you are unable to regain your First-Class Medical Certificate, your income from your career is terminated after your insurance payments and sick leave are exhausted.
If you are unable to maintain your First-Class Medical, what will you do to replace your income from now until age 65?
This is a very important point to make.
