Additionally, there are guys who have invested thousands of dollars and gotten paying flying jobs at regionals, and then got hired on at a guard unit, flying for the guard on weekends and the airline on weekdays. its an option to consider. lots of hours help make you competitive for guard jobs. Another thing to consider, air force pilot training takes about a year plus you have to wait just for a position at school to open up, and then you have to go to more training after that for your airplane, (all of which you get paid for), but in that first year you will probably fly about 250 hours and most of the time you cannot use it towards your TT, sometimes you can.
