Hello all

I'm getting ready to get out of the Air Force and into the airlines (hopefully). I'm considering Higher Power to finish my ATP practical and to get a 737 type rating. Is this a good use of funds/resources? I'm planning on applying to Delta, United, AA, FedEx, UPS, and Southwest.

The less expesive option would be to look at an ATP only program--my written is already complete. I'll go to Emerald Coast for interview prep either way.

For reference:
3600 TT
1200 ME
1100 T PIC (mostly SE)
850 IP/145 Evaluator
3.0 GPA BS (USAFA)
3.8 GPA Masters

1 hooked check-ride (not including busts in UPT), and currently about 2 years on a non-flying staff job.

Side questions: is SOF aviation experience a plus or a minus? Is all my single engine time a show stopper? Should I be looking at regionals to build hours/currency instead of shooting for the big dogs?
