I'll be a graduated non-flying Sq/CC (not that that means anything but may explain the low hours). I could stick around and try for O-6 and still love the AF, but miss flying and the industry seems to be getting healthy again. Just wondering if airlines are a viable option? Thanks for any insights. Happy New Year.
FWIW, I have barely over ATP mins (1950 TT) with half my time being helos, and regionals have been calling.
Majors, maybe not, but regionals are an option, and being that you are retiring, living on regional pay may be an option.
