That's equally as poor as the crm comment about an Eagle guy. Regional guys washing out of UPT are you kidding me? I was one of those guys and I cruised through without much effort. Number of times I saw a coveted USAF T-6 instructor do or say something incorrect: too many to count. I think you might be a little heavy on the cool aid my friend. The military and the regional/major airlines both have their share of clowns and highly skilled good guys. Lesson here is don't throw stones from a glass house, no one is perfect right?
The "low" mins set by majors have always existed to reel in the Fighter guys. Anyone expressing outrage about it is ignorant of that, expecially if they want to suggest years of flying an RJ as a more desirable candidate.

No it wasn't. It was a classic hit on the military vs. civilian periodic flare-up. You're comparing a FAIP to a fighter pilot. Think about it.

Both have pros both have cons. To suggest otherwise is just ignorant.... Now I personally think it's funny to suggest hours mean much regardless of either case..... Plenty of terrible high time guys and some awesome low time pilots.....
Now anyone who wants to discount landing a plane on a carrier multiple times during their service as routine or easy needs to be examined in their head too....
Now please both groups move on..... This is retarded to even debate.... Both groups have winners and losers in their ranks.....

I know 4 people from my airline that haven't had full training in the last 5 years getting interviews....unfortunately, none of the 4 got hired though.
