Because unlike the millions of Americans (and millions of illegal immigrants) that don't work and just collect a Gov't check, I believe in working and contributing to society. I took 3 months off after Active Duty and it got bored after 2 weeks. I enjoy working. I am fortunate that my wife has a profession and a great career.

Easy, she finished medical school and her residency where I was stationed for 6 years. A year after she finished I punched out of active duty. About my only regret in life is not going to med school and deciding to be a pilot

I disagree with xjetguy. I think the majors do look favorably upon going to a regional. It shows you are serious about staying in your profession despite a perceived lack of prestige. I did it after flying nothing but single seat fighter. It was a great learning experience for the 121 world. Thepaysucked, i was furloughed, and the airline went under(ACA). But that's life in the airlines. I have a top gun graduate in my squadron doing the same thing. He sees the longterm picture.

I've been trying to tell the guy it's NOT going to hurt him to go to a regional for some 121 experience and fix some possible currency issues. Not only in this thread but another one as well.
Reading comprehension much?
And yep, we worked at the same place. Pre 9/11, the mil guys that weret getting a call right away and came to ACA didn't last long before going to a legacy. With their extremely liberal helo credit policy, there were A LOT of that came to ACA , got the fixed wing/TPIC and were able to move on.
