Best of luck!

You definately have not picked the easiest path to the cockpit, but it can certainly  be done.  I have many friends that have done exactly what you're trying to do.

My advice (not that you asked):  Excel at everything you do.  The competition to a commission is tight, and you definately don't want anything bad on your record.

Have you considered going aircrew?

PM me if you have any questions- I've sat on a few enlisted commissioning boards.

See ya,

Best of Luck, VVV!!!

Had great fun fighting you in those tanks.

From the virtual skies to someday the Big Blue Sky, you are the envy of us all.

Stand the Wall proud, wherever and whatever your little piece of it is.  

We Salute You!

I had heard Mesa was hiring RJ right seaters with as little as 300 hours. A rumor that may or may not be true.

Our Co. requires a minimum of 1500 hours with 1000 PIC in TurboProp or Jets. Last I had heard we normally have 4000+ applications on file. I'd bet more than half are ex-military with mutli-eng jet time. With a surplus of pilots the airlines can be as picky as they want. We are on a hiring freeze.

It's a difficult road but every pilot you see walking around the airport is a guy who didn't give up and they'll never regret that they didn't go for it.

Hope this helps.
