My two year obligation would start one I qualify. I want to get out as soon as possible.
What's your opinion regarding heading to training command to rack up flight time before applying for a major? Is it worth adding 6-8 months to my commitment to get time in Meridian, or get out without currency and only 1350 total hous?
1150 TT, all PIC
1025 turbine total
800 ME tacair
Thanks for the input
I can't speak directly for an IP but flying in earnest beyond min currency will not start until mid-summer. At that point you can expect the TRACOM to be 2000+ X's behind schedule with 24-30 months expected to "catch up". That translates into lots of IP time during your tenure at a VT. 2-3x's per day will be the norm along with dets and some weekends.
FWIW - I'm a desk jockey staff guy that sits through daily briefings on this subject. I'm not in the squadrons but I'm probably seeing the info long before they get briefed.
