I recently obtained my CFI-A certificate. I have an Associates degree in electronics and have about 260 hours total time.
I am working on my CFI-I and currently am not flying because of no instructor jobs.
I have been considering the Airforce Reserves, or ANG. Since I have worked in electronics, I wouldn't totally be upset if I enlisted and either rode in the back of an airplane or did some kind of electronics in the reserves. My goal would be to get the bachelors degree and become an officer in the Reserves or ANG while flying in the civil world for my "day job".
I have no desire to fly the top-o-the line fighters, infact I wouldn't mind flying cargo or tankers.
1. Should I just suck it up in the civy world and wait for the jobs.
2. Do you think what I want to do is even possible?
3. Would my civil flight training and certificates give me any advantage?
Thanks for your opinions!
