Good luck. Those who've forged forward before you and tried to get specifics got little. Those who have communicated to the leadership how important an improved LTD benefit is, have been met with silence. LTD improvements are noticeably absent from APA's initial JCBA proposal to management and it seems to be an issue that's "confidential, on the Q.T. and very,........hush, hush". 
I think collectively, we'll get nothing and like it.

You signed a flow thru contract. An arbitrator awarded you more for your delayed flow. Now you want more?
You were not furloughed.
The furloughees deserve LOS before any Flow thru.
Jeez, the greed.

To be fair, a lot of what you've written has turned out to be completely wrong. You're a "glass completely empty with a hole in the bottom" guy. Your posts are great, they expand my vocabulary better than my word-a-day toilet paper.

I just got a shock today when I was doing some research on LTD.
Since it is provided by contractual means, LTD payments are taxable. Which means you will get approx 42% of you pre-tax income and the monthly payment is capped at $8000 prior to tax.
Or an income of $160k would be approx $112k after taxes (max value for LTD).
$8k per month (LTD max payment) is approx $96k per year.
Now since that is taxable it drops to $67k after tax.
Here is the real kicker, if you get any income through any other means. ie buy up via another LTD policy or just plain work.
AMR will reduce the LTD payments so that you still only get a total of $8000 from all sources.
Ouch.

Unfortunately, this is a loophole and many people take advantage of programs like disability, unemployment, workmans comp, etc....
