From: Casa 235 Aircraft Commander
Post Military guy making the transition

Hello, all. Welcome to my first post. I'm a Coast Guard FW pilot making the big jump next Spring/Summer and am humbly looking for any advice from you sage aviators out there on how to set myself up for success.

Here are my stats:
TT: 4000
ME Turine: 3500
Turbojet: 900
GA: 500
Tickets: CFI/II (exp) A&P (10 yrs experience) AGI/IGI
Falcon 20 Type (No type available for the Casa 235)
Aircraft Commander in Falcon 20 and HC-144 (casa 235)

I'm signed up with MIL2ATP in January for their ATP + Emerald coast prep package so I'm squared away there.

My top three choices are: 1.FedEx 2. American 3. JetBlue but I'm happy to fly for whomever.

Primarily I'm looking for any advice on how best to time my separation from the CG with publishing and 'getting the call'. Of course that is a bit of a crap shoot but I'm just trying to lessen the potential employment gap.

I deeply appreciate any and all advice and words of wisdom and I can't wait to join you all. Thanks!!!
