The Hawaii ANG recently selected me as a primary Fiscal Year 2004 SUPT candidate for the C-130 . I'm currently flying for a part 121 feeder in the Midwest with 1200 total hours. I was told after I was selected that I should "be patient during the lengthy and complicated accession process".
Here are my questions, Should I temporarily move to Hawaii to accept a FO position with an inter-island commuter to ensure that I have a full time flying job waiting for me after I finish flight training with the Guard? The commuter pays $9K less per year than what I'm currently making which is $27K. I do have family on the island that will let me stay with them until I go to OCS. As I'm sure you can imagine, a salary of $18K per year in Hawaii is pretty close to poverty when you still have car, credit cards, student loan, and insurance payments each month.
Will a part 121 commuter hold my position for the 1-2 years required to complete flight training?
What do other ANG pilots do full time after they finish training and report to their unit?
Thanks for your help,
JA
