Flown with numerous double furloughees who are very happy to be back at UAL after flying top Corp gigs while out on furlough.
No rationslization here. Been at same airline job for 30.5 years and 13 to go. Very happy with my career and very fortunate to have great luck and a great career.
My point on the LTD references is because there really isn’t any reason larger mid to top tier corporate flight departments can’t go out and buy long term disability policies for their pilots. Not as expensive as you might think. Due to the chatastrophic nature of a career pilot losing his/her medical for 1 - 5 - 15 years or indefinitely, the insurance policy would be a huge benefit to those that lose their medical.
Maybe with the pilot shortage hitting corporate aviation this will be more leverage for pilots to attain this very important benefit.
