Schedules are out for most FOs. Even if the X isn't there, click on it anyway. Sometimes it is hidden. A lot lower line values. It's the beginning of the fall slow season.

Pentagon may scrap traditional military pensions as part of retirement overhaul - m.NYPOST.com

They're thinking about the 401k route

I keep trying to tell that to my family members in government service.

The gov't is trying to formulate some sort of 401-ish pension scheme to keep people in long term. Their investment vehicles currently offered (in the gov't 401's) only work in a rising stock market.

There are several third and fourth order effects that will result from this sort of program being ended. Conscripts can't keep the military running.

Just like ACL said, "arrivederci to any sort of volunteer force" after this would become a law.

This country has school teachers, railroad workers, city and federal government employees collecting pensions and they have the audacity to propose that someone willing to "take a bullet" for this country's freedoms have their pensions affected?

Nothing but "pi$$ poor leadership" from the Commander-in-Chief, and it'll continue for as long as this country (liberals) has as short a memory as it does.

(Rant over)

Fly safe,

P.S. God forbid we reassess the 99 weeks, that's right, two years minus five weeks of a salary, for free given to someone too lazy to go out and find another job.
