I have been turned down in the past for younger candidates and even been told I had too much flight time. Since the AF is losing so many pilots to the airlines I was wondering if already being an airline guy with my civilian career fully established would give me an advantage or brownie points. I fully intend to pursue this and make them tell me no, just looking for advice, recommendations and opinions, thank you.
How good of friends are you with people at the unit? You should be hanging out with them on your off days from work if you haven’t already.
