How does the guard/reserve route work for 3). Same 10 year commitment??
If things pick up then I think training on my own>regional>major may be a faster route.
Through no fault of my own if this aviation bug inside stays just a dream. At least I'll have a good stable career. To jump back into.
Also, I heard LCCs and ULCCs will lead the charge in recovery.
Yes I believe the USAFA does have one. And yes, prevailing wisdom is LCC's will lead (but things can always change)
Guard/reserves - NOT a 10 year commitment. I'm not sure the specifics on this though since I was active duty. Hopefully a guard person will chime in. Without a doubt though this is a sweet way to go if you want to have the experience of being a mil pilot while getting an early start in the airlines.
