On the other hand, I think they should.

There was a local cop in my area who recently retired with a $96k/yr pension. His public service pension is taxpayer funded (solid as a rock), and even includes annual COLA adjustments! The pension is calculated using his final years earinings (NOT the last 5 years of service) which was generously built up by an enormous amount of overtime, awarded on a seniority basis.
Not too bad for a high school diploma holder.

My question is...at what point should I start seriously looking at filling out applications with the majors? Right now I have just over 1000 total time, about 550 of that split between the C-21 (Learjet 35), the Beechjet 400, and the KC-135. I know I still need to keep building the time, but was wondering if I'm getting close at all.
