For those of you who aren't familiar, Whipple is MAJOR surgery.
You arn't kidding! The Whipple is not fun! Better than the alternative, though. For the morbidly curious:
Pancreaticoduodenectomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The real fun starts when the internal leaks start. Twice. So instead of only one trip to surgery, you get 3. Don't worry, you still have to pay each time
I'm not here for one ounce of sympathy. I simply want my fellow aviators to take care of and protect themselves. Welcome to all the new guys and gals! We are glad you are here and can't wait to see you out on the line. I've missed the last 12 months but it's about time we had a little movement around here.

PS
One thing I forgot to mention above. I don't think your LTD is indexed to inflation, years of service, or pay raises. What you get on day 1 is what you get in year 10 if you are out that long. Someone correct me if I am wrong. That may affect your disability insurance decisions.
