I was just wondering the process one would go through after serving your initial ~9 years as a 1. Fighter 2. Helo 3. Multi to reintegrate oneself into the civi commercial aviation world. I know there has been some discussion on this but I still have some questions.
1. Fighter Jets:
Assuming one gets ~200 hours a year(too high?), one may finish off with 1000-1400 hours depending on your desk tour. What do airlines think of single seat fighter jet time? Are you really at a disadvantage when compared to a Helo guy? If yes than why? Once hired by an airline company how long is your training period in comparison to 2. Helo and 3. Multi? ???
2. Helicopter:
Not too sure on flight hours here, 300-400 a year? That puts you in the 2000+ range after 9 years. Are you just as competitive as a Multi guy? I know a bunch of reserve griffon pilots who fly for air Canada. Is the switch over easy to do?
3. Multi engine:
I would think airlines are all over these guys like whinnie the pooh on honey. True?
Thanks
