Work smarter, not harder.....
Your experience may vary. After 3 years flying at my airline, my W-2 is the same as what I was making when I left active duty. The kicker is, I average 14-16 days off work a month. Also, I've had most of the holidays that I wanted off, something that rarely could happen in the chair force.

It isn't about the money for me. It is about QOL. And I'm glad I left active duty. The flying was cool, but I hated the chair force.
