I don’t think most of us have any true interest in losing our medical certificate and going on LTD. We want to earn our living. The FAA searches for nonsensical ways of taking that away is all I’m saying and why pilots don’t seek treatment for care that would help them stay healthy.
If you’re on LTD for a mental health reasons it will not pay out until 65. My airline it’s only 2 years. Yet another reason why a pilot might be cautious to seek help.
