No, keep your M-Day job. Always. M-Day is NOT bad, nor are you a slug. I get grumpy when full timers look down on the people they are supposed to serve. All of the full-timers are there to keep the unit running while you are living your other life and have it ready for you when it's Mob/Activation/AFTP/Drill/AT time.
Full time guard jobs (GS,AGR,ADOS) are good and bad. If you can get one and the BS is worth it, jump on it. I have truly enjoyed my time, ADOS and Tech.
What you want to do, Wide Body Intl., isn't going to be achieved by becoming an SP in the Hawk. You need time in FW, however you get it.
Multi-Turbine, FAR Part 1, PIC to be exact. Bigger the better.
There has got to be at least one Part 121 M-Day guy there at the AASF.
I'd say to keep bugging the OSAA people.
Have you actually called them? Do you need a POC?
We take Augmentees from with in our state, but there are also Det.s that need people to fill in their ranks from outside.
It will happen if you're willing to put in the time/energy/sacrifice.
