I did apply with Frontier but they said to get my ATP and then they’ll take another look.
Understandable, but you are willing to entertain commuting for a legacy or ULCC carrier? Because, commuting is commuting rather it’s a legacy, ULCC or regional…

Since you are military, I truly do believe that a touch n go at a regional for currency is the smart play. You literally will not spend much time there.

Once you are current, you will literally have your pick of the litter….

Lol yeah I don't think that's a very mature position to take. To go from my current grade in the military to first year pay at any airline is a 50% pay cut. Some of us have things like college tuition for the kids, bills, child support, etc. It can be done but it's not an easy transition. Not having the commute time allows me to work odd days for the reserves and make up for some of that lost pay.

Any shot at an interview for someone who started with RATP at 1000 hrs & currently has 1600 TT / 600 turbine? Or keep plugging away to 750-1000 turbine? At an LCC, degree (if that matters anymore) and no checkride failures... Thanks
