It depends on the route and demographics on-board. I personally don't understand the focus in US on military and veterans.
I would have appreciated such a gesture towards FF Elites or even some RAK (random act of kindness) towards a college student, before military personnel without direct proven experience or "situations" in kombat.

I know. It’s cool that they are extending more benefits to people not just active duty anymore (now we can shop exchanges etc) and I have my VA loan benes, but I’m not the same as the families who have made the real sacrifice...

A recruiter at another B4 gave me a number much lower than what I’m currently making. Should I tell them how much im making now, which is admittantly at the very top of the SC band, or counter with a range that’s more than I’m making? I hesitate to just throw out current salary + 20% bc I’d be asking for almost $190k for a SC role and I know that would be quite a huge ask for a SC @ B4, even for tech
