First post here. I'm currently an AD navy F18 IP coming up on my MSR.
Family + deployment life is making me consider leaving the navy and wanted to see how competitive my hours and quals would be to get a job at a major. I've got a little more than two years left and can extend a bit in my current IP job until I can get out. Hours are estimated for when I'd be filling out apps.

1500+ TT (but probably not much more)
~1300 PIC Almost all F18 A-F
Natops Instructor
Instrument Instructor
CRM Facilitator
TQ Landing Signal Officer
Division Lead
1-5 Internal Recs from current FOs

I've got the ability to take another AD flying job for 2 years which would keep me current in F-18 but probably involve me deploying (not ideal). Is that pain and loss of seniority at a major worth the only ~300 more hrs? Thanks for the advice for the future.
