That said, what do you want to be doing in 15/25 years. If you envision yourself with a set schedule, flying from LAX, then probably the airlines would be your best bet. The demographics suggest that whichever path you take, you'll likely be in demand, but it is nice to see your progression up a seniority list each month and either cashing that in for early upgrade or enjoying the quality of life that being a very senior FO can provide.
Best of luck!
Whoa buck! You better check yourself. A civilian 3000 hours is nowhere near a 3000 hour military pilot. Not even close.
