Don't do anything permanent until you have a job lined up in the Guard/Reserves (preferably full-time) and/or airline gig. Keep in mind that you will not make as much money at the airlines as you would full time AD. At least until you're making 3rd year widebody FO pay at FDX or UPS. Have the 365 day TDYs to Iraq become official yet? If so, then I don't blame you a bit for thinking of leaving early. If they're not, then I'd carefully consider the ramifications of getting out early. Teaching UPT in the T-6 has got to be better than flying for a commuter for the next 6 years. Not to mention alot more lucrative.
