My Guard unit was BRAC'd. We are involuntary switching airplanes and bases. I'm not a new hire, I did the first year pay, I'm losing money by going on 2 yrs of MLA, and I have to move. The training incurs a 2 yr commitment.

You tell me if it's a "good deal." How does it affect you, anyway? If I'm junior, no sweat. If I'm senior, good for you.

At any rate, since my new jet will be the F-22, I'll say it's a good deal that I'm looking forward to. I'm only 33, so FDX will get it's pound of flesh outta me over the next 27 years. I like both my jobs and work hard at both of them. I'm grateful FDX is accomodating of Mil Leave, and I don't game the system. Hope to see you on the line someday in the Bus.
