Well, the horse it out of the barn now, so, it's up to everyone on their own to decide if the millions of dollars of training the gov't spent, the TS clearance, years of leadership experience in a $hithole and occasionally getting shot at are are worth $50k a year on the job market, with poor job security and oil prices shooting up again which will bring another round of wage pressure. Just so you can fly a shiny jet. Or sit on the ramp for 8 hrs to watch the snow pile up around the jet.

I guess my point is that the average military aviator has a lot more to offer the world, and will be rewarded better, if you broaden your horizons and look beyond the airlines. You can't compete with a 1000hr 23 year old CFI on costs. You shouldn't have to.

BTW, B6 is told their investors they will lose money this year. A lot of money.
