Career Intermission Program
I think we get it, rickair, you don’t like this program. It isn’t limited to just pilots, however, anyone in the service is allowed to apply and take advantage of this. While you obviously aren’t on board it is an awesome opportunity to have the cake and eat it for a those who are lucky enough to be at a point in their careers where they can jump in to the majors a few years earlier than their indentured servitude or retirement carrot would have allowed (to avoid being on the back side of the hiring power curve). The services get to squeeze another quart of blood or two out of us as well, which is a win for everyone else.
This was absolutely the right choice for me and my family, and I would definitely make the same choice again if I had to without batting an eye.
