10 years with an RJ to get to a major? Maybe 20 years ago that was the case but not now. It only took captain dad 3 years from his first turbine job to get on with National Airlines/Pan Am, during an era when having that flight time was very important too (late 70s); had under 5500TT. With 10 years at a regional, you can have almost 10,000TT. Most captains who are at the regionals for 10 years won't leave anyway because they have gained so much seniority there.

If you meet the military requirements (age, education, medical) you would be silly not to attempt that route unless you are philosophically unsuitable for military service. The career benefits outweigh the hardships, IMO. USAF or ANG are best because you will probably not get locked into helicopters, unlike navy/usmc.

Good point. I guess I was daydreaming there for a minute. I thought it was still 1978. LOL Personally, I'd like to get on with AAL within 5 or six years from right now. Keeping my fingers x'd.
