You keep saying this, as in “50% of pilots over 60 are on LTD” which is demonstrably false.
Do you mean to more correctly state that 50% of pilots *at some point in their DAL career* will go on LTD for some time period, with most coming back to being fully cleared and flying for the remainder of their career, and some small percentage staying on LTD until retirement?
In UALs most senior category (DEN 787 CA) there are 3/80 that are on LTD. So just wondering if DAL’s industry-leading LTD is so good that it’s making pilots unable to fly.
