More importantly, it appears that our current POS contract doesn't permit us to maintain any long term disability (LTD) coverage while on FLA. I've heard that it's next to impossible to get reinstated into LTD once your coverage expires for any reason.
Does UAL's current contract address this? Are your furlough bypass folks eligible to get re-instated into LTD upon returning to work?
Thanks,
Justin
I remember looking this up when I returned from furlough the first time and found LTD was re-instated with all of the other benefits.
Not sure if a bypass would change anything. We may be talking apples and oranges with contracts and policies, nor am I a R&I expert, just giving you a quick answer from my own experience.
