People underestimate PTSD. It's not some sham that people just use to get out of work or to sue people. It's a legitimate disorder, and it's quite serious. It can result in insomnia, hypertension, among other things. Since no one here has ever had to dead-stick crash land a 777, I don't think anyone should be judging whether his PTSD condition is legitimate or not. Only he and his doctor can determine that.

A loss of $60k could mean that he has to sell his home. Certainly a big deal, even if he is still making what you consider to be a lot of money.
