you also missed out on being a junior pilot that had to commute to reserve, work every weekend, get the garbage trips that nobody else wanted (pretty much every aspect of “paying your dues” in the 121 world).
As is your "entitlement" lol

Everybody pays their dues, just in a different way sometime.

False equivalency that it carries over to the airline pilot world.
All of that was YOUR CHOICE. To serve, be an officer/leader in the military, and even got to fly too!!!!!!!!!
mods, why, why, WHY is the quote function STILL FUBAR on mobile?

Cant have your cake by not flying the line, not sitting reserve, flying crap schedules while orders and eat it too by getting PS that line guys who were on property for the year….
Now, if you have some eligible earnings, you got the PS amount that you were entitled to…,
All those dues you are paying in the military, you are getting some kind of benefits from it (Tricare, Retirement to double dip with, etc). Otherwise, you wouldn’t be paying those dues.

Don't tell me I didn't pay for my military flight time. I pay every day. As do a lot of others. Some paid the ultimate price.

I paid for that training with 10 years of my life, 35 surgeries and permanent lifelong, likely life shortening medical issues. Oh, and I can't have kids, not because of an accident but because of a DoD medical department F up.
