I assume you have to do what you have to do. I just retired after 20 years on 1 April, 3025 hours/1800PIC/2000ME/etc but no call from United or US Airways. So I'm going with AWAC, start next week in hopes of getting some 121 experience.

I am pretty excited to go to XJT. I know everyone on the regional forums make it sound like the end of the world, but I don't see it that way. However, when I am trying to get on at a major or another corporate gig I want them to look at the line on my resume below the regional job to see where I came from (military). That is really my biggest concern at this point. I guess if it doesn't work out in the end I can just keep living off my wife and keep flying the Pitts.

Like I said, IT WON'T GO AGAINST YOU, IT'LL ONLY BE A POSITIVE.
As well as just about all the apps have the question of "were you in the military?" or "do you have formal military training?". That's ALL they're going to care about.
They're going to know that you have that before you even sit down if they do a resume review.

Yeah, I know what it costs, that's why I don't have one!
I did fly an S2B many years ago, but then I got an airline job and couldn't afford it anymore...
You'll see.
