Wondering if some of you could help me make a tough decision...
Currently:
Regional First officer on reserve.
Lots of civilian flight experience.
College Degree.
Commuting transcontinental for airline reserve.
No upgrade potential for at least 2 years.
Age 27.5
Single
Question....Do I ride this out, or fulfill a longtime dream of doing both military and civilian flying? I know I would have to take a military leave and then I would be able to come back after training is over. I also know this will take about 3 years as I have not begun to apply to any units yet. I plan to gather the phone numbers and addresses after I write this post.
Am I too old?
I have a lot of questions. There are some other considerations like the fact that I will probably be making more money on the civilian side. I also have the freedom to travel just about anywhere for cheap. But then there is the comfort of knowing that when times are tough, the military still wants you.
I guess I am mostly just thinking out loud. Any input is greatly appreciated.
