Does this mean if and when I start putting in apps with the majors down the road will they could potentially hold the amount of Mil leave I've been on, against me?
I'm aware of USERRA but do they generally frown on those that have been on 4+deployments? These deployments were all longer than a year. Any input is appreciated... |

My reserve status never even came up in the interview. Capt interviewing me was a retired O-6. Lots of mil guys in the industry, they get it.

Sure, Iraq may ramp up a little, and we are staying in Afgh a little longer, but the deployment cycle for the average Army aviator is much much slower than it has been over the last decade. The FW community is a different animal. So I would say it is drawing down, or did over the last few years. IOW, employers shouldn't expect year on year off from their guard/reserves like the OP did over the last decade. More like a deployment every few years, in my estimates. |

I disagree with the negatives above. I spent most of my time at a regional on military leave. In four years racked up a whole 729 hours. If you can explain your absences it's almost a moot point. In my case I was trying to upgrade to AC and then after upgrade gain seasoning. I just got hired at a legacy with 2300ish hrs. The question honestly didn't even come up in the interview.
It probably has more to do with how you interview and how well-rounded you are. They need all the well qualified pilots they can get quickly. I don't think it'll hurt you. |

I'm guessing you are VERY "well rounded." Judging by your screen-name, I'd say you are what's known in the HR world as a, "Must Hire". That invalidates anything you have to say here. Sorry, sweetheart. How are you enjoying aviation?

That's me. And you?
CONGRATS ON THE JOB!!!! Spike, time to show you are "well rounded" and apologize. How big a man are you? She worked very hard to be where she is at, and is also a very nice, hard working, and smart woman. Or keep sparing with her! You are out classed with Sara. I've seen her resume and work! Have you? |
