I have a lot of friends that went to the Guard to fly RPA's after their commitment was up. They are all airline guys and love the RPA because its easy, good QOL and really just a means to an end (retirement/health benefits) with the AF. BL: you need to stay current. If you have your CFI or could fly part 91 for a while Id do that. Have you thought about the regionals until the Majors start hiring? I know its peanuts but its flight time. You would get an interview with Express jet in a heart beat. You could work for them for a few months then jump ship when you get a job somewhere else. Good luck
