I wonder how much capital our predecessors wasted on the furlough section of our contract? I surely hope we’re getting some credit for wiping that off the books.

oh......and we would have furloughed more pilots than any other time in our history and would have done it in 1 month.......so yeah that part of the contract appears to be worthless

LTD benefits are considered taxable income. Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes are automatically deducted from these benefits until we are absent from work for six full calendar months on account of the disability. Federal income taxes are withheld by Delta according to our current W-4 withholding instructions.
The monthly LTD benefits are equal to 50% of our Final Average Earnings. Final Average Earnings is the monthly average of the highest 12 consecutive months of normal Earnings out of the last 36 months while on Active Payroll Status (including Accident and Sick Leave and vacation).

Barring any "gotcha" language that might broadside us, this should pass 85-90%.
Some of the perpetually miserable guys (thankfully lower in number every day) remind me of a good movie quote: "You're so ******* bored you have to invent things to beyotch about."
