Makes sense. Although a couple of months is well inside of the panic timeline for getting out. The question is, will it change? (Just out of curiosity, I guess.)
The military is becoming an extremely volatile place for pilots planning on separating - whether it's after initial commitment, or getting threatened with a 6 month or 1 year non-flying deployment to end a 24 year career, purely out of spite for getting out.
Meaning - dudes are starting to ditch the dream airline idea for whomever calls first, just so they can get a plan/path in place to enable them to hit "submit" on retirement or separation.
(My plan is already in place, albeit a ****ty one.)

I didn't get hired until 1 month before I went on terminal leave.

Valid.
You're a braver man than I! I'd have to shave something in place prior to that. I think, anyway. I'm staring down the barrel of regional life for a while it looks like anyway, so not much of a factor for me.

You have to give the Air Force 6 months notice on your separation. So most guys have to take the "leap of faith". Having a reserve job lined up helps. I had nothing lined up, and rolled the bones. It's a fine line between a hero and a goat, and it worked out.

Interviewed 20 march, class date 11 Jul. My availability was asap. Super pumped, and not complaining.. but i was really surprised on the long wait. I accepted the class date but said i could start immediately if a slot opened up last minute. Any idea if that's a possibility? .. or should i get a job at subway?
Thx!
Thx!
