Even if he never got his medical back he wouldn’t disability benefits until 65. Instead he chose to self medicate and lost it all. Now he has zero chance of getting his medical back.

if he was at any other airline and went out on a mental disability his benefits would have been limited to 52 weeks. Not age 65.
If if were skiff, we’d all go sailing. I agree, completely blew it, cheated himself and everything, everyone he normally cares about. As mentioned earlier by another poster, this case is atypical to the extreme. Let it serve as an outlier’s case in point. Focus on RA with respect to depression disorder. Common and frequently self stigmatized. Life for many of us is no straight line. Anything but.
