One other question. Will flying normally invalidate my work based life
insurance? Or does each policy have different options?

The insurance plan I participated in, at work, was pretty good, but it
did not cover me for injury or death if I was the pilot (crew member)
of an airplane. I ended up getting a 20 year term plan, outside of
work, that did cover me and was suprisingly a little less expensive
than my work plan.

Congrats on embarking on this wonderful journey of aviation! It's a
great ride!

Best Regards,
Todd
