If so, you can look this up in DBMS and it has been published in several locations.

The thing is, it takes a lot of research and it changes with every bid. If you are already a Delta pilot, it would make it more worthwhile for someone to look up all that for you.

So, I'm 18, and am leaving for Navy bootcamp on Monday. I have a four-year enlistment, and want to go to the airlines when I get out. I'm a person who likes to have a good plan, but I want to get some feedback from people who can relate to what I am planning on doing.

Like I said, Navy for 4 years, and during that time I plan and taking online classes, and using the Navy college program to earn an AA degree, 100% paid BTW, and also fly off the side whenever I'm not working and out at sea (which may be pretty rare), I have about 65 hours already, and I'm darn close to getting my PPL. My plan is to have an AA and at least a CPL SEL-I when I get out with about 300TT, and go to Ari or Skymates (expects GI bill funding) and go through their CFI course, then CFI until I have upwords of 1200-1300TT with some solid ME and instrument under my belt, then apply to the regionals. Being from Michigan, it would be awesome to go back and fly for Pinnacle. From what I hear that place sucks right now, but hey anything's better than working 16 hour days and living on a ship for 4 years right?

Thats my plan guys/gals, and if anyone did the military enlisted route, and then to the airlines, I'd certainly appreciate and advice or basically what you did. Or if anyone has any advice. If my "plan" seems unrealistic, let me know.

Thanks!
