Thanks for all the replies. Until recently I had not considered getting out before retirement. With the separation bonus currently available and the civilian market starting to look up I am trying to get ideas together.
It sounds like the best option is FedEx. Ive always heard they are near the top of most pilots' list if preferences. I thought their hiring window is closed. Any ideas how often (and how long) they open their window?
As far as the other company suggestions listed above, what are your recommendations concerning hiring/advancement and quality of life?
