Appreciate the responses.
It’s a little low, but the times, as the man says, they are a changing, so who knows.
It certainly wouldn’t HURT to put out apps, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you needed a year at a regionals actually get the call with those six.
Question: do you have an ATP and an FAA type-rating for the 737?
14 CFR § 61.73 - Military pilots or former military pilots: Special rules.
An aircraft type rating may only be issued for a type of aircraft that has a comparable civilian type designation by the Administrator. (2) Has passed an official U.S. military pilot check and instrument proficiency check in that type of aircraft.
