Thanks to all for the great information. We have a beautiful house in the Balboa Park area, and kids are all grown, and we are debt free (minus the house) ...with a nice military pension when the day comes. All I really want is a job that offers good QOL, and isn't staring at a computer screen all day waiting for the clock to hit 5pm. I do understand the benefits of living in base, but you should see our backyard!!! I am even thinking that being a Sky West FO in SAN may actually be all I need. Again, it isn't financial, it is as the previous guy alluded too: My wife and I "argue" over whether I should wear a light jacket in January, when walking the dog.
And for those that really care...I usually lose that argument, but she got me a nice light windbreaker with lots of pockets to hold all my stuff!
Thanks again, and safe flying!
