Please help, and thanks.
None of us have the answer. I wish I did.
I have a buddy who is as much a brother to me as my own blood and for whom I would put my own seniority number down as collateral on his success; a guy who I have worked every angle and pulled out every stop to help get on, and he hasn't heard a peep.

Not a military guy here but wouldn't it be easier to live in/near your airline domicile and commute to the reserve/guard assignment?
You'll be commuting four or five times per month to your airline job. Isn't the guard/reserve job much less than that?

I live in brick town and commute to lax for now. Did 15.5 years active. Pm me and I'll fill you in on everything I've learned. So glad I punched, very happy with United as i turned delta class down a month ago, and don't regret exiting mil as late as I did.

Live where your reserve unit is until you decide to punch. I made the jump to live in domicile and you end up being gone on UAL trips and then gone doing reserve commitment.
Live in Edmond now, definitely like living where my reserve sq is.
