Thank you all for your help.
Air Force? I am a regional guy and I also fly the C130 in the Air Guard. You should fly as an FO for at least a year or 2 prior to upgrading in he 121 world even if you are given the opportunity. That would be like going from UPT straight to Aircraft Commander of a heavy. You're just not ready.
