Old Military Helo Guy to FW?
Howdy,
Closing the final chapter on a 27 year AF career as a CSAR and Air Advisor Helo guy. Looking hard at employment back in the Pacific North West. Reading, and hearing about the hefty transition flow that is ongoing for RW guys. Have several fellow bubbas that have pulled this trigger, so many expectations regarding this option are managed (low pay, bottom feeder, upgrade times). Would love to hear from anyone on their experiences and perspectives recently or currently going through a RTP. thanks

I love it. Between the bonus money Compass will front to the 141 school of your choice and the GI Bill, I didn't come out of pocket except for checkrides. Unlike the military with all their additional duties, here my job is to fly. And so far everyone I have flown with has been helpful, professional, but chill and laid back. I have no complaints.
Come on in, the water is nice.
