Default Loss of flight medical Frontier, JB, Spirit

How is the loss of flight medical benefits between Frontier, JetBlue and Spirit airlines, Also what happened to all of the Frontier threads? I was going to dig through and read them but anything before 2023 is gone.

Ours is 60% of your gross, and you can supplement it if you so choose. I was told Spirit is 70%.

Up to 8000/month unless you do a buy up a policy

As posted. It’s $8000 a month. If you use the imputed income it is not taxed.

If you do the buy up it’s $10,500 a month . I’d have to look and see how much the premium is per month extra. $10.5 non taxed is like making 14K gross / pre tax.

Keep in mind it goes off 60/70 percent off your base salary gross income. So a 2 year FO you won’t get that payout. But a captain you will.

Whatever it is, it is leaps and bounds behind the legacies I am pretty sure, and I hope we get better options in the next contract ontop of LTD.

That wasn't the question, but thanks for stating the obvious.

Maybe some APC folks can chime in on their LTD from their respective airline for comparison.

I was on our LTD for almost a year. It paid all my bills while I was out. I was thankful for that safety net.

So the buy up is 60% of your base pay up to $15k and an extension of own occupation to 5 years (vs the 2 year company paid). You can only get over $8k once your annual income exceeds $170k though. I believe the cost is based on what your max benefit would be at your current pay rate. I'm paying about $300 a month.
