So, does United just dump the guys that lose their medicals, since they can't fly the line and therefore aren't, apparently, good enough to be sim instructors?
No. They go on LTD (which hopefully will be raised on the upcoming contract but currently pays out around 8K a month tax free until retirement age) and can also work outside the company in a position not requiring a medical. Not sure if working in a non flying position at UAL is allowed while collecting LTD. Someone more familiar will probably chime in. Good luck with the search.
