Separating while Overseas and applying
I find myself at a point where I'm strongly considering separating and trying to find a reserve/job at the Majors-if i'm lucky enough. Problem is I'll be separating while overseas in Asia. Has anyone been in my boat and have advice on how that all works? Did you get an interview/were the companies flexible with travel time to get to the interview and the like.
FWIW-i'm two years out and plan to start applying next year at the one year out point.

I left active duty from Germany & the issues I had when applying were: 1. Future employers only wanted to chat when I was 90 days or less from my ETS date, 2. Funky overseas phone number (this was before VoIP, Vonage, etc.), 3. APO and/or European address, 4. Time zone differences.
These were not show-stoppers but instead just bumps in the road for me in early 2006 as I left active duty. My other issue was not having my ATP & current FAA 1st Class Medical since I was on/off deployments & stationed overseas. Being 2+ years out you can plan accordingly now to have all your ducks in a row. I used the AMC rotator to get home to the States cheaply for my job interviews.
Good luck!

...Is not having a current Class 1 going to be an issue. I have one now but it will certainly expire. Is that required for interviews?
