This is a no-brainer. Go Guard or Reserves and never look back! Apply everywhere you can stand to live and take the first one you get. While you're waiting to go to AF training get hired by a regional, if able.

Training takes 2-3 years, then if your fighters you'll have another fish years full time (less if you fly heavies). After than you can go part time and go back to the airlines if you wish. If you get hired at a regional prior to training you can drop mil leave and when you get back you'll still have your seniority number. You'll make much more in the mil than at the regionals, as well. Heck it's going to take 4ish years at my legacy to get back to the pay I'm making in the mil.
