“As this article highlights it is an electrical problem with the heart.”

Best wishes for a good outcome, FRiend.

Friend here had electrical problem with heart, now on pacemaker at 61. Now he’s rehabbing from rotator cuff surgery. On disability at $15k a month, can’t reach up to flick switches in the cockpit. Flies Dreamliners overseas, usually twice a month, makes about $50k a month. Sometimes he gets “outbid” for a flight, if so he gets paid and doesn’t have to fly. Senior airline pilots/first officers are in shortage and he’s got 30 years in. The big money happens near the end, seniority is everything.
