I'm retired ARNG, SC. There were two Army RW guys in my class. One had FW time in the Army as well.

Both are at Mesa now. One, who was to be my sim partner, busted the ATP oral. The other, my partner in IPTs, made it through the oral but was paired with a guy who came back to 121 flying after 2-3 years off. His experience was EMB-145. During sims, there was a lot of "we didn't do it that way on the 145" and "we didn't do it that way at brand X."

My IPT partner was offered a ground instructor position, so I'm told, but turned it down. He's DFW-based so he can be closer to his daughter.

I flew with lots of RW guys at Comair and would fly with any of them again.
