Will you still have a pulse and be able to fog a mirror? If so, yes considering the state of hiring at the regionals.

I'm kind of wondering if I should just do that for a couple of years and build up my hours and try to get to the Majors...that being said I don't know if that is a feasible plan and I can only do it if I am early retired vs being separated.
It depends. Are you going to have a currency issue? You're going to have to DO SOMETHING to get current. It's been covered A LOT in the military section as far what can be used to get current again.
Delta publishes the average times of the various demographics that they've hired thus far. AGAIN, those are "averages". You'll ALWAYS have those that re BELOW those time as well as those ABOVE. Hence, and "average". Because SOMEONE is gonna chime in with the "well I know a (insert platform here) guy that got hired and he only had (insert less than the "average" here) hours!!!!!!!!"
Well no **** sherlock, it's an "average".
Since 2014, the "average" total time for a mil pilot was 3119, for 2015 YTD it's 3041, for the month of Sept it was 3192.
But do you have other boxes checked? IP/EP, safety, etc etc etc?
