Mil Retirement vs Airline Jump
All,
I've been told by several people that it's a break even scenario to make the jump to the majors at 11-12 years of service. That's pretty much true according to the spreadsheet I just worked. Would any of you QC my numbers? I can't figure out how to drop a file into the forum. I'm new to it all, but hope to make my decision by this Aug. The table snapshot below shows the options I've looked at in terms of total income from now until I'm 80...I can't find a better way to capture the 401K offered by Delta/FedEx. I only accounted for their "contributions." This assumes a 5-yr upgrage from FO-Capt. Any idea what the timelines are now for hi-time military pilots?
