Steam, I think you may have underestimated the job market. Things are still pretty tight out there and being military is a plus but not a free pass to the front of the line. I'm not sure what your definition of 'several months' is but it can take over a year easily to get called at FDX or UPS these days...and that's for an interview not a class date. If I were you, I'd seriously consider one of the better regionals in the interim. You DO NOT want to go non-current if you want to fly for a living. Part 121 on your resume will only help your cause if you don't get hired as quickly as you hope to. Also, you may want to try an Air Inc., job fair.
