I figure there's at least a few NSXers out there that are either already airline pilots or working towards making the jump from mil/charter/regional.
I'm a military guy myself with 1500TT, 500 PIC turbine and will probably come close to doubling that before I make the decision to stay in or get out in just over 4 years, so I feel pretty good about my odds of getting hired. Really aiming to have a more stable home life in the endgame than the military has been or will be for the next few years even with the first couple years of sitting reserve for days on end. As much as I would like to keep flying in the guard/reserve, I may just cut away cold turkey for my family's sake. I have a few older buddies I would consider mentors that have been recently hired, so I've been able to glean some info from them.
Got my ATP last year under the old rules and have recently started preparing my apps for a few of the majors on airline apps. I know there's more to be done as far as pre-interview study and app prep, but that's still a ways off.
Going to max blast apps out to every major, but really hoping for a job offer from Delta so I can sit on a line at ATL and be close to my family in TN and my wife's family in FL.
Any airline/military pilot NSXers that can give me some advice? Dos/don'ts? Any recent hires?
Thanks!
