In the pointy-nosed world, if you vocalize an attitude like that, you will get crushed. I don't make it a secret that after I'm done with the AF, I want to go to the airlines...but in the mean time, I'm 100% committed to being the best combat aviator that I can be right now.
Well stated Hacker. I do believe they will make it more difficult at UPT (or whatever it is now) if you make your intentions known that your ultimate goal is the airlines. Had the wing commander at Reese AFB ask us that question. About 7 guys raised thier hand. Four were gone, washed out, within one month of hitting the T-37 flightline.
