It's not exactly mystery coverage. Not anymore than any other insurance is when they get the details finalized. If you don't like the details lower your insurance down to $1 and enjoy the benefits without the premiums. No brainer. Or if you simply don't see any benefit then cancel altogether no harm done.
Besides, Skywest is matching premium up to $50.
You could literally "retire" early if you lost your medical.

Also comparing this insurance to any other insurance such as primary health insurance isn't really apples to apples either. However I see value in my health insurance as I not only avoid a penalty due to it being required, I also enjoy getting to take my sick kids to the doctor for only a co-pay each visit as well as not paying the full cost of labor and delivery come later this summer

Hi again, sorry for being annoying, my interview is tomorrow and I still don't know whether to tell them I prefer ERJ/CRJ. Can some one let me know which bases are most jr for each aircraft?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

ERJ west coast is sightless junior because they aren't putting Jew hires into Chicago. Anticipation is ppl will move west from Chicago.
CRJ is quicker seniority imo

But if it's permanently disqualifying from professional aviation, then yes you can retire without having to try to find another job. The only real catch is no inflation adjustment, so value of your benefit while decline over time. But you can insure a larger amount of income if you're worried about inflation.

You could. It is very possible. That's actually the point of the insurance. There is also a benefit of them taking steps to help you get your medical back if it is a condition that could improve and if you are so willing to take those steps.
Until age 65 of course.

Skywest is only matching premiums up to $50 for the first 3 months... so non-factor. Also, the fact that you think you could retire early if you lose your medical with this insurance tells me you haven't done much research on the subject. But hey, if somebody says you should buy something to give yourself an edge, most pilots do haha

That is the purpose of this insurance. That's why it extends to age 65.

Take the coverage. If you lose your medical you will get it back a lot quicker if you have the coverage.

MSP is slowing down pretty fast. Unless you have some new info this month it's already been discussed you could get SLC before MSP. Maybe you have some info I don't but MSP doesn't look junior anymore. All classes are getting ORD/DTW the last 2 months

MSP is in a temporary lull because of the expansion in ORD mostly. There will still be movement with the constant upgrades going on and people transferring out. I even heard that they are going to bump up the crj upgrades from 30 a month to 40.
