"Penny wise and pound foolish". Ex-military guys (I am retired Navy reserves) have no idea as to how variable compensation is at United based on location. Within my own class (20 years seniority) there is a huge difference (more than 80k/year) in pay based mainly on proximity to a "junior" base vs. commuting from a cabin in paradise. This doesn't even begin to address quality of life. There is nothing better than sitting reserve for 2 months while coaching your kids sports teams and being used only once for a 3 day trip to Paris.
