I’m affiliating into a unit (my current active duty squadron) where I can fly my 5 or 6 days a month without having to drop MIL leave.
35 in CC is a great place to be a reservist. I think that place is batting 1000 at SWA. I have some buds there. Good front office. I have read some of your other posts....you seem like you really help other people which is why this site got started...that is why I asked my other question in the other post...
You seemed to get really got defensive about this Mil Leave thing. EVERYONE knows of someone who abuses the system. That is an unfortunate fact of life. I am really suprised what I have seen some people do myself. That is what gives Mil guys a bad name at some airlines. I have even heard of some people getting hired and then get activated for the next 4-5 years so they can finish their 20...Not something I would do, but it happens. I dont believe an potential employer would hire someone that stated once they got the job they were not gonna be there for the next XX years. To be honest it should not even come up in an interview. I think people who do this are the EXCEPTION and not the rule. That is why GarryOwen asked the qustion in the first place, to get other peoples opinion....IMHO
