Many thanks to those willing to lend advice on the transition. I'm also looking at the prospect of a career change at the 11 year mark. With the separation bonus due to "force shaping" and at least the POSSIBILITY of hiring I think it might be a good time to make the jump.

My question is...How hard is it for a guy with a really good military flying resume (and +2K PIC) to get hired. I realize it may not be with FedEx/Delta, etc, but can I get a job to put food on the table until I can move into the position I want?
