Glad there was something there of value in the archives, even if it isn't very active now.
It was a pretty good community 5-10 years ago during the last hiring boom, and I know a couple USAF helo guys who participated there and went on to regional jobs in the late '00s.
The good news is that the hiring picture is very much like 2006-2007 again, so it is going to be easier for a military rotorhead to get into the game.
Don't forget that JetBlue is the only big airline to officially give credit to rotor time, so put your app in there as well as the regionals.
