Interesting posts on DC-9 numbers vs. MD-90s, good charts as always, but what's it all mean for the next AE?
Crew Resources confirmed receipt of my long MLOA return package today, and told me "We're going over your package" (which didn't sound healthy), and that the mil Liason would review it (JM, who I've talked to before and felt solid about), and they they'd contact me with a class date. Until I hear back from them that my 4 year MLOA return after 5.5 years furlough is "approved", I'm pretty nervous... Anyone ever heard of a MLOA return getting hassled/rejected? I'm solid reserve orders for the whole time except 2 weeks leave/vacation a year and a few weekends without duty here and there. Grrr... the waiting sux!
If you were on active duty the entire time you have nothing to worry about. If however you were in a drilling reserve status part of the time there could be issues since normally the does not qualify for long term military leave. Since your time was 4.4 years your solid as a rock if it was all active duty. If you reverted back to normal reserve status in that time period and were drilling and do active duty now and then you might have issues however I don't really think they check that hard.
