AA or B6
Hey everyone!
quick question.
I have a mentee who lives about an hour from MCO. Currently he is a regional CA( not much for turbine PIC, ex military helo) with one of the wholly owned and has about a year till he flows.
He has asked me numerous times if he should wait for the flow or apply to B6.
Unfortunately I have been on MIL leave for the last 3 years so my info might be a little outdated.
what would you tell him?
TIA!

Like I said I would move to an AA base.
Also we have heard MCO is very senior on the B6 side of things.

He could easily do long call reserve from his home with a MIA base at AA. Short call would be a stretch but we don’t have a set call out time no I know people who have done short call from as far away as Fort Meyers and Melbourne.
