I have a CJO from both UPS and United. I don't separate from active duty until July so I fully expect that class dates will be equal. I am 40 and have no mil retirement. My family is in Lexington, KY 1.5 hr drive to SDF (outside the UPS reserve callout, but easy drive). Wife's family is in N. Virginia 25 min from Dulles. I am highly concerned about job stability/retirement but also interested in a better QOL if stability and retirement was close. My wife's does want to live near her family in N. Virginia so even if I work with UPS we may decide to relocate from KY to VA after a couple years if I go with UPS. If I roll the dice on UAL stability, how early could I expect to upgrade to NB captain to offset pay difference? UPS upgrade time from what I gather is currently 4.5-5 years. I don't have a gauge to compare the value of non-b$#%ing boxes, commuting, and top pay vs an unstable industry, the ability to bid reserve and flight benefits. Advice? TIA
