Gee,
B.H.FR8 D.
let's see, I think I'd rather have a 5 yrs, 3,000 hrs. EMB or CL pilot who spent his/her career flying out of DEN, ORD, or LGA,
than a RMA career B-52, C 135, P-3 etc. with 3,000 hrs, 300 to/land. and a butt load of powerpoint lectures sitting in the right seat!

All pilots being something to the table. IMHO Airlines are better today with a mix of past experiences.

What an idiot! Military aviators bring a lot to the table. There is a reason the military can make an Aircraft Commander/PIC in less time than in the civilian airline can. It's the training. Granted they don't have butt load of hours or a lot of experience operating at busy airports but the amount of emergency training they go thru is a lot and is second to none! They fly around the world with little to no help.

When it comes to this flying, the military guys don't bring more to the table than anyone else here. I know they would like to think they would.... But it's not the case. If you are a "civie" and have a good attitude, APPLY! I would love to fly with you. Some of the best I've seen here are the guys from the regionals (no I'm not a regional guy).
And let's leave the 2~3 briefs and debriefs at the door

Yep, it does that on occasion. From time to time the thread drifts into Flightinfo.com territory but thus far it seems to find its way back to important things fairly soon.

Airlines want the best people they can hire - regardless of flying history. Thinking one is better than the other is toxic and will quickly lower you to the bottom of a highly competitive pilot pool. Attitude is everything....not hours...not briefings. Let's keep the thread to people helping people - that's what it's all about.
