By the time I can get out it will be shy of two years out of a cockpit.
I have 3000+ military flight hours, 1,000 turbine IP hours and 1,000 turbine PIC. Safety experience and trained and a decent amount of volunteer work.
Thanks
How many years active-duty service do you have? If you have less than 15, I recommend bailing for the airlines (if a major wont hire you, hell yes go to a regional). If you have five or more years until your 20, and you stay until 20, you are giving up thousands of seniority numbers at DAL, UAL or AA. Even FedEx has massive hiring plans. SWA, not sure, anyone else have info of SWAs projected hiring the next 5 years?
Any Reserve or Guard interest? I have friends that left active duty at 16 and 17 years, got an airline job, got off probation and then via full-time orders, or an AGR position, and military leave, got their 20 year active pension.
