Is the grass greener? (Military to Airlines)
Looking for some honest advice on this one.. is the transition from active duty military flying to commercial airline flying worth it? I’ve always envisioned myself serving my 20 then swapping into the airline biz, but recent events are causing me to second guess my gameplan. What’s keeping me in? Exciting flying, decent paycheck, comfortable lifestyle, healthcare for my family and knowing that if I stick it out, I’ll have a consistent income for the rest of my days. Ultimately, this is a huge family decision and I’m seeking info from past military guys who have made the leap and civilians who may think the grass is greener on the military side. So, what say you?
