We may also want to look into creating a program like Delta's DPMA which functions as financial assistance program for their disabled pilots. For those who have never heard of it, it was started way back when by Chicago and Southern Airways and continues to operate on behalf of Delta pilots to this day. As we continue to grow in numbers, sadly the occurrence of these medical issues and disabilities among our own will increase.
