Honestly, if you are dead set on going to AA, I would recommend going to a WO in case OTS doesn't work out. And, for whatever reason if you change your mind about AA, you can still try to go somewhere else too.
What is your background, if you don't mind me asking?
I’ve thought about that as well. The main concern there is if working for a WO would steer the company away because they want to keep their regionals staffed. Not sure if AA plays that game, but it makes you wonder if that could be the case.
As far as my background goes. I’m 1.5 years away from a bachelors and currently instructing. Doing as much homework as possible to set myself up for success when it comes to applying to mainline. I know it’s a few years out and a lot is gonna happen between now and then, but I don’t want to look back and have one of those “if I had (fill in the blank), I would be at AA mainline by now” moments.
