Default How is living in Memphis?

If you don't get the MD in new hire, you can get it in 3 years max due to seat locks.
Thanks for the reassuring response, how is the QOL living in Memphis? I hear it's a pretty crime ridden city...

All it takes is a little effort and time to research your questions which have been answered over, and over, and over all over these boards. The answers to your questions are all there in plain sight.

Those are great goals but if you want the fastest route then I’d suggest not doing the military route. If you want to serve the country then go that route. If you just want to build time then go the civilian route. You are in the same shoes I was in. I started flight training at 17 and completed my CFI during freshmen year of college. I did my college degree mostly online which allowed me to run a business to pay off flying bills and work my other full time job. PM me if you’d like to chat in detail.

Default fleet question

I'm bidding for fleet, and I was told that 767 OAK is doing some international. I'm wondering if 767 IND or MEM are doing any international as well? Thanks

IND is doing ETOPS flying starting in September. Europe only, initially just Paris it sounds like.

Sometimes I wish I did the military route. I'm a relatively new hire but came from civilian background. Although if I did military, there would have been things in my regular life I could not have accomplished. Both great paths to get to your dream carrier.
