Question....
I have been offered two interviews with two Regionals. Here is my dilemma and hopefully some insight from others would help me out a bit. I have been flying for the government (non-military) for 14 years now. My flight times are:
4250 TT
3850 Fixed Wing
400 RW
1500+ Turbine
1000+ TPIC
2 type ratings
4 year degree
Should I just hold out for the Majors (preference of course) or take what I can get and hope within the next year the extra time and 121 experience will get me where I want?
Thanks or the input.

Maybe you'll get lucky and a Major will call and then your Regional interviews will just be good practice!

You'll check off new boxes -
121
New type rating
Airline training course
Recent vetting by employer
Possible new boxes checked -
New training course accomplished (why has he only been in one seat for x years?)
Larger a/c
Jet??
Some of the boxes get you points. Some might or might not. The people who know aren't talking.

Delta
2300TT
600 SIC 121
500 Mil SIC heavy
rest part 91 instructing
2.9 GPA
a few speeding tickets from 5+ years ago
Did some volunteer work years ago
2 part 91 checkride busts, 2 UPT checkride busts
It's through Endeavor SSP so I have to wait a little while for class, but I'm still on cloud nine.
Extremely humbled, especially considering the kinds of applications out there.

Just curious for some input. Accruing TPIC time but unhappy at my regional. Would be competitive for LCC's, but the end game is a legacy. None of us know for certain if we made the right moves until retirement (and not even always then), but conditions being as they are do you think somebody would be better off sucking it up and getting at least 1000 TPIC or moving on with 100-200 hours of it and getting a 737/A320 type rating?

1000 hrs TPIC. It used to be a requirement. Hard to believe they've reduced it's value to zero. Start interviewing for the next opportunity when you've got 800-900 hrs TPIC.
If you're at a flow company I'd ride it out.
If you decide to leave move to an airline that would also be a career choice OR do some different, like w/b international long haul.

A while back someone had posted a timeline for guys that are transitioning out of the military. I want to say it started at either 24 months from getting out or from 18 months from getting out. It was basically a checklist of things guys need to be doing or thinking of doing at certain intervals prior to their ETS or retirement date.
Does anyone have the link to his post or could potentially copy and paste it again? I searched and cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it.
Thanks!
