Shoot a DART through the ALPA app to get clarification. I could be wrong, so verify it.

Any future income offsets dollar for dollar. We have many holes in our current LTD but this is the biggest one. This absolutely needs to be addressed in this next CBA. Medical and DC to retirement age on LTD would be good to get as well but we have to fix this income offset issue.

Agree

Sadly it’s hard for pilots to ask for this in polling and surveys when most don’t even know we have offset income

Yeah, you're right. This is another big shortfall with our LTD. Industry standard is own occupation with no offset. Add this to the list of things to fix, along with the lack of 401k contributions and health insurance on LTD.

Talk to a fellow pilot who has been thru this journey, especially a first officer… it’s not good. We almost need them to share their testimony at union events…
