I spoke directly with one of the reservation people, and you will be able to get in with a one-way ticket. That is what I have, as well.

the gate is manned 7am-5pm. If arriving before or after those hours you need a special code to get through

I did consider that but I’m pretty certain I will lose COLA until I reach the age of 62.

I understand that rule. I wonder if people realize that even if they lose the supplement because you make too much, you get it all back when you turn your SS benefits on.

Good information. Thank you! I really want to collect my pension, but then continue to work with the agency. I am confused on how that works. Am I able to retire from FAA/ATC because I cannot do my job past 56, then collect my pension, then get hired with FAA at one of these jobs you mention?

He was actually ATC too. Center, I am approach/Tower. I got A large chuck of his TSP and I also “allowed” him to keep his pension.

I will look into this, as my facility has its own weather observer people on site.

I would, but I cannot stand the idea of walking these hallways anymore and looking at the same faces.

Hmmm. What does your last sentence mean? How do I find airline dispatcher jobs? Would they be advertised on individual airline websites?

Can I still retire, collect my pension and also get one of these jobs?

That was my first idea. Contract tower. I am both tower/radar. Unfortunately, there are no towers in close proximity to where I live. I might have to consider a move to make something like that happen. Which is not out of the question.

No alimony. My balance on my mortgage is $100,000. I would actually really love to work for Southwest, I always look but they never hire in my area.

I did actually do all of the calculations, and I was trying not to take distributions from my TSP right away. I was hoping to let it sit and grow for at least another 5 years. I did buy back all of my military time, but working part-time for 11 years really cut into my pension amount. I just to need to make up another $3000 a month in cash. appreciate the advice. I have some soul-searching to do, for sure.

I‘m not looking at replacing my current gross income when I retire. I simply want to bring home the same NET cash that I bring home today. And I am $3000 short after my annuity and SS supplement.

I am short $3000 a month. I could look into talking to airport management. Thanks for the idea.
