Hi Mark-
I appreciate your efforts in continuing to publish PCN as a
network of information.
I would like to pass on a couple items that should be of
interest to a number of our retired pilots. Some of this information was passed
on previously, but is reiterated for emphasis.
1. If we want to be responsible to our families, we will
plan for our inevitable departure from this life. The DDPSA website ( www.ddpsa.org ) has some excellent reference
material. Membership is not required for access to the information on
the website. The "Flight Plan
for the Final Flight West" can be a useful tool for organizing
information. The "Survivor Benefit
Worksheet" allows pilots to obtain an estimate of the monthly income
survivor benefit payable to eligible survivors from the D&S Plan, a plan
that survived the bankruptcy. The amount of the monthly income survivors'
benefit usually changes each year on April 1st along with changes to the
variable portion of the benefit. The website also has other information
about survivor benefits including eligibility requirements as well as how the
benefit is calculated.
2. Most retired Delta pilots are eligible for certain legal
documentation through Hyatt Legal Services, a Met Life Company . I recently utilized
this free service to obtain a Will, Durable Power of Attorney and
Advanced Health Care Directive. The attorney contracted by Hyatt Legal Services
provided a Family Trust for a very reasonable fee. The contact telephone number
for the Hyatt services is (800) 825-6400. The Delta Air Lines group
number is 300533.
