Resources and Advice Focused for Pilots of American Airlines and their Families
American pilot families have access to a range of retirement and health benefit options—including the company sponsored 401 (k) (pre-tax and Roth), and Backdoor Roth IRA. This plan includes unique features such as company contributions, contribution limits, and in-service Roth conversions—all of which can be complex to navigate. In addition, understanding and selecting from American’s health benefit options can be equally challenging.
At Leading Edge, we help you understand the nuances of each of these benefits and make informed decisions aligned with your financial goals.
We also offer investment management for your American Airlines 401(k) through BrokerageLink at Fidelity, helping you stay on course with your retirement strategy.
Navigate Health Emergencies with Confidence
Aviation professionals face unique stressors – especially when it comes to maintaining their medical certification. Even minor health issues can lead to major financial consequences if you’re not properly prepared. As aviation families ourselves, we understand the stakes and the stress. Pilots have several ways to protect their income and their families from the financial impact of health emergencies. These include:
Short-term disability insurance
Long-term disability insurance
Loss of license coverage
Accrued sick time
Emergency savings
We work with pilot families to evaluate their options and create a tailored plan that fits their unique needs. And when a health emergency does occur, we’re here to help you navigate the financial side—so you can focus on recovery.
