These survivor benefits are modelled along the lines of those in the Social Security Act- but with a lot of improvements. The incomes will average about three times as much as social security; the child's benefit will run to 21 instead of to 18, and the widowed mother of the child will have her own correspondingly extended; (the widow's old age benefit begins at 60, instead of 65 as does that of the mother); the widow's and mother's income is paid whether she works or not; and a child or a father can get their income and work anywhere except on an air line. And, the social security survivor benefits will be paid in addition to those under the ALPA plan. More details on these survivor benefits will be given later. 14. In calculating an annuity, a pilot can count all his air line pilot service- some will have creditable service back to before 1925. All the Company plans tie strings on prior service credits- if any. 15. All your air line pilot service is creditable under the APLA plan no matter what line you work for, and you don't lose by switching from one line to another. This plan sounds pretty good- but it's still a little vague- Go back to the fellow who was born in 1913 and became a pilot in 1938. Give him the same pay he got in the other case. What would he get under the ALPA plan if the doctor BUSTS him out 7 years from now, say, February 1, 1955? He gets the $200 per month. And NO WAITING! 12
