From the announcement: "In Fiscal Year 2016, applicants with fixed wing experience will be especially desired."
Are the airlines hiring or something?

I've been on both sides of the interview table here in the CG. My CO signed my conditional letter of release over a year prior to my end of obligated service. I just told them what my availability date was when I interviewed. The Coast Guard has gotten stricter since then, so they now publish a date range for commissioning for each board.

When you guys are hard-up enough - - give me a call!
