If I start to get my $200 and then taken an air line job, I understand that the $200 stops.  What happens if I lose the job?

The $200 begins with the first of the second month in which you are off the air line job.  Annuity payments will be made on the first of a month for the preceding month.  So in this case you would get the $200 for the first whole month you were out of your airline job.

Fourth, you'll be protected from any permanent and total disability you have while you're a pilot, after 5 years as
