RJ....Not sure who your question was directed to...I retire from the AF on 31 May. I hope to get on with Air NZ as soon as I can get my FAA ATP converted. My permanent residency is complete. Now I just need to take a few exams for the conversion. BTW using military experience is way harder then using civilian time. In the meantime I found a nice gig with good pay to fill the time untill I can finish the conversion.
