A retirement check after 20 years may be enough to fill your gas tank and buy a few rounds every month...nothing to get too excited about.
Why sell yourself short? If you fly for a living, demand what your worth! If you feel your worth less, stop flying for everyone's sake.
In fact, get out in the business world and make some real money. You'll feel better about yourself (hopefully) and you'll learn that that government check isn't worth as much as you profess, in more ways than one.
Cheers.
Every time the military gets a pay raise, the retirees get the same raise. It's a pretty sweet deal. That's why I can get drop most of my schedule at SWA and just work when I want to.
