So am I. I am senior enough to hold all holidays off. And, I think a lot of professions make more than pilots, certainly Air Force Pilots too. My wife does very well, and that helps me out too. It gives me the ability to pick and choose the flying I want, and spend as much time debunking you on FI as I want. Keep enjoying that Military desk job, becuase you will be in it for a long time. Your Southwest and Fedex dreams have vanished. BTW, I love that Avatar. Great memories. Have a great one, and don't be too upset about age 65. It wasn't supposed to crush your dreams. There are plenty of BE1900 jobs out there for you now, like Gulfstream INTL and Great Lakes (they are starting Bigsky routes in MT soon). Go for it!
Bye Bye--General Lee
