Well.. true if also flying somewhere else to get hours. How many are we talking about here that are specifically looking for that part time route?

Probably a decent strategy but I will say I know a couple guard types that are now sim instructors at AA. Can't get an interview yet.. They refuse to go regional and need hours. So you're going to have to do some sort of flying somewhere. If you can work that angle of getting some military on your resume and not have the long full time commitment then I could see that helping.
