Does anyone have any info on an insurance plan, that will cover your salary/wages if you lose your medical?

Thanks

It is usually run through the long or short term disability part of a benefits package. It is not cheap though. Ours runs about $160 a month. You have to check though. Not all disability programs cover loss of medical.

Check the wording. If it says something like "...unable to perform the duties for which you were hired..." and you have lost your ability to fly ergo bingo, loss of license.

Industrial Alliance is worded that way. Just be prepared to be a Walmart greeter as they wheel you in to the front of the store. If you're not in an iron lung, they expect you to work at something after the first 2 years. Cuts into the golf!
