50% (New STD/LTD Plans, Damian Jennette, Brent Weisner)

Today's SWAPA Number is 50%. That's the percentage of monthly base earnings a SWAPA pilot will receive while on disability under our new contract.  That benefit begins 60 days and lasts until FAA retirement age, if necessary. This major improvement from our old LOL plan was a key pillar of Contract 2020, but that begs the question, do we even need a SWAPA disability plan anymore? So today on the show we're talking with frequent guest and NC member Damian Jennette, along with Benefits chair Brent Weisner, who will tell us all about the new SWAPA STD and LTD plans, how they work with the new Southwest LOL plan, and what our pilots need to know as we get ready for the special open enrollment period coming up in April.If you have any feedback for us at all, please drop us a line at [email protected] or tap here to send us a text.Follow us online:Twitter - https://twitter.com/swapapilotsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/swapa737
