Flight time and bum question.. what to do

[kc10/c130]

I gotta go with Fox-Tree on this one but I'm a FDX'r as well. I still have never seen the crap you're talking about with the "perception of involvement in the unit". Only thing I see is the high ops tempo and guys trying to get airline jobs. Good luck and do what works best for your family.

i was in the same boat, new co-pilot very little flying at the unit so I had to do what was best for myself and family so sucked it up financially took a regional job and did the guard thing and finally moved on to the majors. Money wise if you look at the immediate, true the guard will pay way more than a regional at first but if u can somehow make it by for a while especially if u r single then i would say go to the regionals anyday. plus right now the upgrade times are good and the attrition rate or guys moving on has gone up..good luck

I thought people joined the military to serve and protect their fellow citizens, but apparently all you care about is flight time in the log book so you can go get a job elsewhere. Can I have my money back please? I and my fellow taxpayers did not fund your training so you could jump ship to an airline at first opportunity

He's a part-time Reservist. He's pondering whether or not to fly at a regional in addition to his Reserve job that "you fund." Any guy going from the military to the airlines at the earliest or ANY opportunity has fulfilled his obligation to serve and protect you.

Why don't you stick to the civilian boards where you might actually have something intelligent to post, instead of showing your lack of understanding of the Guard/Reserves.

I have not come to this thread in a while but since im here I am in the Reserves....If you understand the concept of the reserves you would understand why this post even began and why we are talking about flight time and trying to move on to a civilian job. No one here is talking about trying to get released from active duty to pursue a civilian career...i personally have been in the reserves over 10 years so no one is eating up your tax money...
