I'm currently a college senior graduating in May in the greater-Washington, D.C. area. Enlisted in the Air National Guard, yet looking to earn a commission and a pilot slot. My ambitions are to fly military and work my way to commercial. I'm currently a student pilot and should finish my private by graduation in May.

I've looked at openings with ACA, because as I wait to get my license and something lined up with the military, I figure getting an intro job w/ an airline may be good just to get my foot in the door within the aviation industry.

What would you say about a person with my qualifications and ambitions taking an intro job like Crew Scheduler, or Training Scheduler, would that be a good way to get my foot in the door for someone who wants to eventually fly for the airlines? And how do you view the people and work environment for ACA?

If ever in the DC area, I would be willing to catch up just to talk about the industry.
