Black Sun,
I’m sure there is a bed upstairs you can hide under .
As a retired military pilot, the choice of staying in the military is not as cut and dry as one would think. By accepting the “bonus” a pilot makes a commitment to stay in the military for another 8 years (in my case) the amount of pension benefit from the airlines a person would lose far outweighs the pension from the Air Force, also theres a good chance you’ll be sitting at a desk for a large part of that time. It’s a tough decision.
