a good chunk of us army rotor heads who flew ems and were young enough left for the airforce to get the ratings. most are all at airlines now and enjoy it. Fall back during a furlough is run to the guard squadron for orders flying F16, KC135,C17, C130s. fall back to the fall back is run back to a rotor gig until called back from furlough. If you are a young army officer, jumping ship isn't easy due to paper work involved but is worth it! 


never in a million years would we have thought the Airforce would poach helicopter pilots too! 


if you want to take the stay in the army route and go civilian for training that's fine too. Just use the guard to fall back on and rotor jobs if a furlough happens .
