In 2008 myself and tons of other pilots were non-vol'd to go fly UAVs, and I'm one of the few that was fortunate enough to get released to fly manned aircraft again in 2014. So the last year has been spent not looking at the airlines but throwing myself at flying in order to get back up to speed after over five years out of the cockpit.
Getting back in the cockpit was unexpected for me, and I thought I was dead in the water when it came to manned aircraft. I spent most of my time researching UAV contracting jobs in the private sector prior to 2014.
I am sorry about what big blue to you and all the TAMI 21 folks, but just as with the airlines, military service has some bit of timing and luck. You folks had bad luck when the AF ramped up RPA orbits to satisfy combatant commanders never ending desire for more real time ISR info. But you are back flying and current! If you researched RPA contractor jobs for a year, then why not take a few days to do some research on one of the best resources out there...This forum. Guardsmen and reservists are everywhere, starting at UPT, and even in RPAs. If we are not in your community, you certainly will work with us somewhere on an exercise or a deployment. Explain how my post is nonsense?
