Go to a regional!
I did 12 years active in the 38 as an IP, Viper, and Viper IP.. Then did 2 more years guard full time.
I wanted a job as the guard was drawing back.. I got on at a regional. Man, it was awesome. I learned to fly a 121 jet, met some great people, and had a second income. It was definitely eye opening!
Now at a legacy. Life is swell.
