It seems like it might not be worth the hassle I guess. 27 year old army 1LT. I think going to UPT wouldn’t be horrible though since I’m already a civilian fixed wing guy. Plus I’ll be starting at a WO regional here in a few months so if I left for UPT my seniority/flow would advance while at UPT.

To the OP, you already have a regional job to get FW hours that can take you to the majors. I understand wanting to go the fighter route, it is once in a lifetime. But hear this out. Go fly RPA's in the Guard. We have transferred 2 Army rotorheads so far in our unit. No UPT required, we don't deploy and it is all the title 10 that you can stomach. We have a ton of airline guys and it is a great network to use to get hired. It is still the AF and can be a pain in the ass at times, but not a bad way to finish 20.
