A few years back when we were doing the ground school courses in conjunction with CMV1, one of our instructors seemed to have the data, that he declared as fact. He said we were dying at an average age 64, and FedEx generally didn't have to provide retirement funds for more than a couple of years. So was he full of it, or does someone have the data?

It is pretty believable to me. I am weary of hearing of some otherwise healthy guy just died in his fifties, from causes unknown, sudden heart attack, or an unusual disease. I don't want to hear about another woman getting cancer. It's just too many people, and the obituaries I want to read are about a pilot dying after a long life in his or her nineties. Not in their fifties.
