Actually no.... not quitting, leveraging...
You know your “sell by date” when you were hired into ATC... or the military, or the airlines... plenty of time to plan.
Plenty of ATC’ers and Active Duty/National Guard/Reserve guys and gals that take early retirement to go fly for the airlines because a previous stable career will smooth the unpredictable life of the airlines... How many airlines have a real pension, not a contribution to a 401/403 666 plan?
Whatever pension (not as generous as you might think) just might cover the mortgage during the next furlough...
