Unless they are guard/reserve, while most tend to have some time before they go some don't. For a fighter guy, counting your 1 year seasoning at your base you will most likely only have around 700 hours (~500 TPIC). Maybe even less since they have cut some of our seasoning days.

But the guys coming off active duty should have no problem. There are lots of guys getting out at my current base and almost all of them are going to Southwest/UPS/FedEx/Fractionals/ACMI Carriers....etc. I would think most of them wouldn't want to leave to go to first year regional pay considering most are pulling in ~80k/year (Capt at 10 years).
