Ask USMCFLYR. I bet he made more as a military officer than most legacy captains. I bet his current job pays much more than a new hire at a regional and has real benefits too.
or were you being ironic?
I approached the military at the time I graduated from college and they were not hiring. Most of the ROTC guys who were offered training slots got the boot prior to starting. By the time the military began hiring pilots I was already on my way in the civilian route. Why would I have chosen the military at that point when FAPA was telling us all in Career Pilot magazine that we would be rock star legacy airline pilots in just a few years?
