So "down for the count" LTD's are counted as "retiring" at 65?

Why would someone “leave” early for a medical? Why wouldn’t they just go on disability and “retire” at 65?

I suppose you could be talking about longterm sick guys. But don’t they stay on disability, retire at 65...........but do get removed from the seniority list after 10 years (I think)?

I'd guess you are correct for the guys that go on permanent LTD prior to age 55. 10 years and then off the list. I wouldn't think it would be a big number.

They are counted by the company in how many pilots they need to hire which is the important part. They come off the list after 10 years or when they reach 65.

Glad I did NOT retire early, as is the question of this thread. Yes, I stayed up to watch the Super Bowl to the end. I am NOW going to retired for the night.

No one has answered his questioned and said yes I am retiring early..That was my point in an earlier post. Very few people are going early.
