My advice is to stay in for another 3 years - hiring has pretty much stopped everywhere. Age 65 delayed things about 3-5 years, and merger mania looks like it'll keep hiring to a minimal level for possibly a few more years. I'm not even going to guess what oil will do.
In 3 years, the age 60+ crowd will thin out, and the merger issues should be straightened out, thus giving you more options.
Find a job you can tolerate, maybe go back to AETC and fly the line for your last few years.
FWIW, I just separated after the 11 year point and I'm a new hire at CAL. I'm happy with my choice, at least for now. But the grass over here got a whloe lot browner after after they stopped hiring and now talking about merging. My best scenario is not getting furloughed and hanging on to the bottom 1% of the senority list for the next few years.
