such as health insurance, that stop when you retire before you reach the age to qualify for Medicare.
Darn. When did that change? Guess I better start saving.

Was trying to find that change in my contract, too.

The CAL "medical bridge" between age 60 and 62 is alive and found in Section 27, Part 6. Sick bank time can be used to cover the monthly retiree medical premium until Medicare kicks in. Pilots retiring before 59 1/2 and want this bridge coverage must give 6 months early retirement notice before they leave. Just most guys are working beyond age 60 now so we don't hear about this bridge talk very often.

IMHO, I don't think this section will survive into the JCBA. Heck, I don't think our sick bank system will make it untouched into the JCBA. Too much money at stake for the company not to go after. Use it now or lose it. Just ask any NWA pilot about their sick bank after merger.
