Reply to Pilot Slot - Dual-Citizenship
@Miami , I would advise contacting the recruiter POC for the units you’re interested in. They’ll get you an answer. Make sure to include that you are willing to renounce the non-U.S. citizenship, as that may be a major factor in their accessions decision.
Reply to Pilot Slot - Dual-Citizenship
Good afternoon,
See the excerpt below from the governing regulation. The fact that you’re already in the military and have a clearance is a big win.

A BogiDope Mako!
Congratulations to Nick Longhini on being the newest Bodidope Fighter Hire. Nick is headed off to fly Vipers off the Florida beaches with the 93d FS at Homestead FL.
Nick actually picked up a fall out slot – he was the alternate and stayed connected with the unit. A UPT opportunity opened up and the squadron has his phone number ready.

The Escalator Starts Again
2022 again? Maybe. Each major airline is rumored to be hiring 1,500 or more pilots next year. That could mean five to seven thousand new seats industry-wide.
