I am dropping apps in a couple of weeks and I like the contract (and local to ORF), but (currently) seven years seems like a long time... I am a mil pilot and would like to do the 121 thing, but reality for me is that if I cannot make it to a major/majorish carrier w/i four years then its not economically beneficial for me to do it.
Thank you in advance for information!
I would presume, as a military pilot, you have at least 1000 hours of AC time. If that's the case, put your apps in everywhere you want to work and if you get hired at AWAC, you can always quit to go elsewhere even if you have not yet upgraded to CRJ Captain.
If you don't have 1000 hours of AC time yet...don't punch out until you do - checking that box will open a LOT of doors.
