I agree with this BUT it could be like my job where I came out of the simulator as a fully qualified SP PIC, but it took me a little over 1 year to be a mission qualified PIC - assigned on the itinerary and logging the type of PIC time that airlines want to see on the resume, though I could have been logging FAR type of PIC on all legs flown in the left seat (sole manipulator).

I am unfamiliar with the PIC qualification of L3 for the King Airs so I only point out the possibility of not logging ME TPIC right out of the batting cage.

Ugh ...

Anyhow, military and civilian time (Part121) is highly desired. You will get to check a lot more of the boxes on the electronic applications. This will make you more competitive than any military only pilot or civilian only pilot.

I know several ex-USAF pilots working for regional airlines right now treading water until their dream company starts hiring again.
