Would taking another T-1 assignment limit my airline application choices? (I.e. would they prefer I was more recent in the kc-135 vs the small T-1?)
Also, I'm thinking of applying to Macdill's reserve kc-135 squadron as a TR. Would having to requal in the kc-135 mean they are less likely to pick me up?
Any thoughts/lessons learned would be great!
Thanks!
Just to clarify...
Are your 200 hours of PIC included in your 2-300 hours of IP time? Or in addition to them (since you are obviously the PIC if you're logging IP time). What is your total time? Which job will get you more time (not sure if you need more total time, because I don't know your total time)?
I'm not an expert, but I really don't see them caring one way or the other. I think it will come down to which job you want more. Also, you could probably be an Evaluator in the T1 on your next assignment, is that possible in the 135? That's a tangible box to check.
Most of my Mil time was T-38 when I was hired for what that's worth.
