In all seriousness, it's very helpful in time of need.

My question, and I need to call and find out is, can you put a claim in on a preexisting leave or does it have to be one that you had after you enrolled. If it is the later, than many of those guys do not qualify!

If you are ex-NWA and were out on LTS and have not returned since DCC, you remain under the old NWA disability program. The only thing the DPMA fund will need to cover are those that go LTS after DCC.

That is what I assumed. But thanks for clarifying it.

Gentlemen,
I have a question for the premerger delta guys. I'm a NWA pilot on bypass and due back on property by Jan 2013. My new number is around 10980 and would retire at around 220. I graduated with my MD from LSU medical school and am currently doing an orthopaedic surgery residency, but want to come back and fly at Delta. I am planning to switch to an ER residency, which allows a tremendous amount of flexibility vs. ortho.
I am wondering, what is the flexibility of your schedules? Is it possible to fly only 10 days a month? I don't care about a big a cut in pay: just if it's possible to only fly 10-12 days a month. ER allows plenty of flexibility(it's shift work with the avg # of shifts/month being 10-12) vs ortho which is basically a full time gig.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide

I would say yes, it is possible. Might be difficult to only get 10 days with that seniority number but in four years it is quite possible. ER or 330 in NYC could possibly do it. Plus you could drop a trip or two.
