What are the chances I would be competitive for hire and if not, what would get me there?
My situation is very similar to yours. But I was out of flying Navy metal for an ever longer time than you. I figured no legacy would be interested unless and until I put in some time at a regional. I did some flying at a local club, got current on instruments, and put in apps at some regionals. I went to two regional interviews and now I have two job offers to mull.
Bonne Chance!
