The only thing that makes it an attractive option to outsiders is the dream of flying pointy-nosed aircraft past 1.0 mach. For insiders, or FGO's to be more specific, it usually takes a major recession and/or a war to persuade them to stay in when the airline industry is in the pooper. Unfortunately for the military, most airlines have raised their first year payscales 100-150% over the last 10 years, which makes the transition for us a lot more attractive.
