Was he denied retirement benefits after onset of 1st problems? Trying to figure out why he would get boosted.
Did you know FAA regulations demand any treatment be out for a year before FAA can consider it for use in pilots. Except for covid…
I have no clue what your point is? He still had approximately 10 years to go in his lucrative career. This cuts a quarter out of it, and pilots make far, far more in their last ten years than they do in their first ten years... You do realize that an airline captain's retirement benefits are a fraction of what they make while they are working? Whatever disability insurance that he had also is not going to make up the difference. He has 5 kids, 3 of them still in college. The entire family is having to make drastic changes to their lifestyle.

Hindsight is 20/20 isn't it! These days you are no longer considered “vaccinated” if you don't get boosted. And his airline has mandated the vaccines. This was fought by the union but the union lost. He had two options get the booster or be fired. He wasn't sure that his newly discovered heart condition was actually from the vaccine. When he was originally diagnosed none of the doctors said that it was even though it had never been a problem previously. So he got the booster, the same choice that the vast majority of people who are trying to support a family make. Biden and company might as well have put a gun to his head.
