The only way to make more would be if his other job paid more than FAE at which point the disability payment would be 0??? That about right?

If the above is correct, what's the problem?

IOW ....to make double what the line pilot makes in disability you actually have to work. I know....kinda a strange concept for those that roll thunder with PB days
