I've been gone a bit - sorry!
I couldn't air refuel which is why I'm getting out. I could fly the plane just fine for everything else. Expecting an honorable discharge. Not an adverse DD214 code. I figure my mil timeline will put me at a disadvantage for majors.
To put the thread back towards my question - IF I am able to get with a regional, I understand my goal is to upgrade to captain and get that TPIC. Besides getting TPIC, what else can I do? Are there leadership opportunities I can pursue that don't take me out of the cockpit?
