In this episode of A Wiser Retirement® Podcast, Casey Smith, President of Wiser Wealth Management and former airline pilot is with Grace Kennedy, Financial Planning Associate to discuss the unique financial needs of pilots and the smartest financial planning path for them.

Airline pilots face a unique mix of high-but-variable income, mandatory retirement at 65, stringent medical requirements, and shifting industry dynamics. That’s why “pilot math” matters, your plan has to reflect guarantee hours, upgrade paths, commuting realities, union benefits, and specialized employer plans.
