Life after Piloting  

I'd been flying or in an aviation relaated position since 1983.  Last July I'd finally had enough of my then employer and gave notice.  My retirement and VA disability (100% P & T - Getting an aircraft shot out from under you and wrecking your body a bit in the forced landing can do that to you.  BTW, keep everyone alive in the landing!) are working out OK.  The VA said I was qualified for SSDI so I'm going for that too.  It'll be a nice bridge to full SS in a few more years.  The point is, if you can make it money wise, why work?  The only reason I can think of is health insurance for you and yours.  If that's the case, check with a Healthcare Marketplace insurance rep in your area.  BTW, you don't pay them, the insurance carrier pays them a commission.  I've read that the coverage haas gotten better and the rates have gone down too.  Be sure to check out the customer reviews of the rep you see, not all are created equal and you want a good one!
