<p>The airline business isn’t great right now. The only airlines that are hiring are Southwest and Jet Blue. They both prefer military pilots with lots of hours in multi engine time or a few times the will take a Mesa airline type pilot but they must fly for years before the even look at you. </p>
<p>United, Delta, Northwest, American all have pilots on furlow. They won’t be hiring for years, close to 10 some estimates. They all in/have been in Chapter 11. </p>
<p>Being a military pilot is not like going out to the flying club. They are stressed beyond belief deployments and shortages. They pay should be last thing you should think about. After graduation, you would go to pilot training for 1 year. After you complete pilot training you have a commitment of 10 years. A few 2LTs don’t go to pilot training right away, they have to wait for a slot in a class. A few have had to wait 6 months. </p>
<p>The Air Force is not only pilots, there are officers intel, space, support, medical and so many more. Go to military.com. I don’t know to many people who work with the CIA.</p>
