Very true. I've seen numerous guys medical out pre-60. Most were from bad backs/shoulders from slinging 50 lb. chart bags into/out of the cockpit. A couple died in GA/military accidents. 4 or 5 coronaries. A handful of cancers. Various other reasons.
For the most part, A funds are gone. Those (that I know of) are going quickly because most new hires don't have the pension option. They're strictly 401k self-funded retirements. Hope you all have GOOD investment advisers.
So much for "expectations."
