And the bone-us? SWA life will not cover you while non-reving. Yup. You die in a SWA accident (not on duty) and your loved ones are S.O.L. That also goes for any GA flying.
Supplement with the company life ins if you want, be get a policy not tied to your employment.
Yes.
Lock in a good rate on life ins now while you are young and healthy. Supposedly SWAPA is working on some options for life coverage, but in the meantime, I use an outside company and it is much much better than the SWA coverage that ends when your sick leave does.
