Thanks everyone for the posts. Gasnhaul you do have a very good point for time building and the military not being the end all. Considering my circumstance I will be looking at that route very seriously. With that said though its always been a dream to become an Officer and the learning you do at UPT makes even a low time Pilot a very competent Aviator in the system. I spent some time at a unit and a Captain let me sit in the KC-135 sim with him and it was absolutely phenominal. Then again maybe that was just me having a case of the Shiny Jet Syndrome who knows.
The regionals have really been a weird situation these days. Some of these guys are getting hired with 200-300 tt into EMB/CRJ's who would have ever thought? Thanks again everybody.
