Your beneficiary(ies) will receive the proceeds of a Company-paid term life insurance
policy covering the pilot. Per the PWA, the amount is equal to 2,500 times the 12-year captain hourly rate on the highest-paying aircraft type outlined in the PWA in effect on January 1 of each year. Applying this formula, the Company-paid life insurance in effect is $885,000 in 2020. Note: A pilot may elect a lower amount of Company-paid life insurance, as explained below. You may designate any individual(s) or trust(s) as beneficiary for the Company-paid term life insurance.
It's in PWA 26.G

Thanks folks. I obviously didn’t think to look in the PWA. Your assistance is much appreciated.
I wasn’t sure why that info was showing up under My Benefits if it wasn’t what applied to me.

DL2913 Thank You
Customer here. I want to give a shout out to the two gentlemen who piloted Delta 2913 tonight. It was an Airbus 319. I was in 14A, right next to the number one engine which failed dramatically just before rotation. The pilots took off and leveled off before returning to SLC. We were airborne for 18 minutes and they even had time to make a reassuring PA. We stopped on the runway and were met by fire trucks. I was happy to learn the same crew was in command of the second try on a new aircraft.
I know you guys are going through hell with the prospects of furloughs and pay cuts. Performance under pressure and sound decision making like I witnessed tonight are why you guys deserve top pay and benefits. Keep your heads high.

320 question. Where does it say the engines need a 2 min warm up? Captain and I looked and couldn't find it. All we found was the 5 min cold one. Is it just a carryover from the other fleets?
