That's no lead pipe cinch of course, but it's the best opportunity nonmilitary-trained guys have had to get to the majors since .... well, ever.

Just interview. Call the recruiting office wherever you want to go and schedule it. If not with Compass then with whoever the heck will give you an interview. If they give you an interview they are looking to hire you.

If you have choices, go to the place you can actually live in base, or at least easily commute to base. And go to someplace that then will actually FLY you, not leave you on reserve somewhere you'll be struggling to make consolidation time on that new rating.

And wherever you go, find someplace that the training system isn't FUBAR, which a lot of them seem to be right now. Don't waste the next month dithering or the next six months trying to get through a screwed up training department. You have an opportunity many of your predecessors only dreamed about. Don't waste it.
