If you get out soon, and need to maintain currency, the Guard/Reserve thing is an excellent way to go. Getting hired at any company...121, 135, night freight, etc, you will be SIC, not PIC. Transition into ANG/AFR, you will prolly stay aircraft commander logging TPIC, or at worst spend a few months copilot or first pilot in a new airframe before rechecking out as AC. Another good way to pad the hours, or even reach the mins, but on your own terms.Originally Posted by FlyBoyd
While there isn't a requirement for 121 time, there can be a requirement for currency. If you don't have another way to keep current, going the regional route isn't a bad idea if you are still waiting for the call from a major.
Even if you get picked up at your dream legacy, keeping the ANG/AFR gig can help improve your take home, along with providing a safety net. But it's not free, it costs you time.
Good luck.
