Let me repeat - DAL gets full retirement on day 1 of LTD - me United Pilots get 50% of retirement after 36 months in LTD. WTF!
That would absolutely be a win. I suppose the question is where that lies on our collective priority list. It didn’t get decreased in this (or likely subsequent) TAs, so how badly do we want this?
Would you prefer a higher hourly wage so that you can purchase your own policy outside United? Or perhaps a UAL “sponsored” insurance option that was pretax?
