Or how about 1 in 3 pilots who don't make it to Age 65 because of an illness or loss of medical who actually manage to collect disability payments and not touching their retirement until mandatory retirement age?
The whole point of my post was to state facts and take the heat off the "us vs. them" narrative. I'm sure there were omissions, but not sure how it is self serving in any way. And, no, I didn't poll anyone because that was the exact opposite objective of my posts.
