What fringe benefits does the Association offer?
After the first 90 days of service, Deputy Pilots receive comprehensive health benefits through our membership with Masters, Mates and Pilots. A Pilot must serve 20 years as a full Pilot (in addition to time served as a Deputy Pilot) in order to be eligible for retirement benefits from the Association. A Pilot must be 55 years old in order to receive retirement benefits. The Association maintains a mandatory retirement age of 65. Additionally, each Pilot and Deputy Pilot is provided with a life insurance policy as well as license protection insurance. Pilots also receive disability protection through a self-insured program.
