Take care of yourselves out there...

As far as I am aware the family wont get _any_ insurance benefits for a suicide also...suicide is only for people who only have regard for themself.

FN FAL: "No, just the same mom."

Um...that's not how it works.

Sure it does...in your post, you just said you were brothers, not biological twins. Do the math. I'm not proud, you and your half brother can call me "Poppi"...even if one of you is mix-ogenated.

Actually, insurance companies can protect themselves with a suicide clause. If I'm not mistaken, that protection only lasts so long...like two years. Check your local laws.

Is The Company Required To Pay Death Benefits If The Insured Commits Suicide?

Suicide is not covered during an initial period of a year or two years which is stated in the policy’s suicide clause. After the policy has been in force for more than this period, suicide is covered just like any other death.

My wife's sister is a born again and when she told us about a suicide in the church, she smiled when she said that the family wouldn't get any money because the death was a suicide...which is kind of funny, because it would seem odd that my sister in law would know when the policy went into effect or what the clauses were in the policy. But you never know...

Have a little respect for the dead dumbass. You weren't in his shoes, so take your higher than mightly crap and take it elsewhere.

It's true!!!...

... there really are some quality people left in the world. Come on people, make a difference! Don't give in to the dark side, it only leads to hate.

cheers fly_chick, pm me and I'll comp you a bev of your choice.

Smile at a stranger, ask someone how their day is going (and listen to the answer), compliment someone on something they have done, wave to someone across the field whom you have not seen in a while, offer up the extra two cents for someone at the checkout who is fumbling for change. All too often we forget how the little things we do can mean so much.

Do you really mean that or are you just trying to pick up a chick? Sorry...I'm not really a tool...I just couldn't resist.

I had someone tell me once that if you commit suicide you just have to come back and live this life over. THAT was enough for me to never consider that an option!


I know with some unions there are EAP committees, so if you need help, try that route. You all would know better whether you would permanently lose your medical, but I know of several pilots that had to go through mandatory counseling and got their medicals back.

FN FAL,

Show some respect for the dead and dont use this site to promote your hatred.

On a personal note, the captain and flight attendant i have been flying with this month asked me "if i ever get angry?" They wanted to know why i never got upset while they were biatching about everything. I told them by having a negative attitude i dont want to offend or make a derogatory comment towards anyone. We as pilots, meet so many people from rampers to agents to fuelers to passengers that a simple smile and "thank you" can go a long way. I know that we dont always agree with each other, but their is a cordial way of handling things.

Sorry about lecturing....

I hope that his family are taken care of and my prayers are with them.

Just because I wasnt the one who opted out of life doesnt mean that what I said isnt a fact.

Well...you said we had the same mother. I thought the father's surname was the one the child carried.

I suppose you could be my "Poppi"...Mom always described him as an imbecile with a very small winkie.

That sound like you?

Well, in the movie Beetleguese, they say that if you commit suicide you become a public servant in heaven....it was in a movie, it must be true!

Promote hatred? Really? Hahaha...since when is pointing out the finer details of the birds and the bees, a disrespect for the dead? I'm enjoying a nice cold beer right now...am I not supposed to enjoy that either? After all, there are 209,300,599,976,321,098,321.3 dead people, that wish they could have one!

Actually, I think she called me a big "wanker".

Not really, just joshing you.

I saw a gravestone one time of a guy who had committed suicide in his mid-thirties:

"The day came when the pain it took to stay, was greater then that pain it took to go."

There's a lot of truth to that, and people tend to overlook the actual pain that these people (mentally, emotionally, physically) were probably going thru prior to committing the act.
