I am in my 36th year and have had ALPA Loss of License insurance since the beginning. I even carried the Harvey Watt lump sum coverage until I was canceled this month at age 60.

Is it worth it??? Depends, I am sure there are other programs or policies that "may" be better, but in 1978 when I enrolled, there weren't a lot of options.

What it did offer was peace of mind. I knew if I couldn't return to work, then I was going to have a smooth transition to another career field.

In my case, I considered it worth every penny.
