This started by talking about getting hired at major airlines not regionals. Yes, low time guard guys pull that. Do I agree with the behavior? No. They are exploiting a federal law that protects their civilian job.

military brothers aren't concerned about being great employees rather schedule and $.

Bottom line is all you people who think the military thing is "unfair" have never done it. You know half the equation. You have zero real concept of what is required to pass military flight school and fly in the operational forces. The military pilots have done both and can therefore compare and contrast based on experience. I'm Winchester, RTB.

Put you in a simulator running the same scenario and 99 out of 100 times you'd be a smear on the ground with hundreds of casualties. His ability to assess the situation, make decisions and react after the stuff hit the fan is far greater than yours and he's a better pilot. Human error happens everywhere. That doesn't change the fact that side by side at the end of the day a military trained pilot is a better pilot and a better employee. If it wasn't true the majors wouldn't seek out mil guys and hire them at lower hours. If that burns you up, that's your problem. Sorry you can't accept reality.

Did I say civilian only pilots were bad or incapable? I didn't belittle anyone. Absolutely some are rock stars and better than quite a few mil pilots. For the vast majority it's not true. It doesn't really matter what you think, the proof is in the hiring standards. If 2000-5000 hour civilian pilots were a safe bet for the majors, that's where they'd be hiring.

want see getting hired? Nobody is saying the military pilots are inadequate
but they aren't all Chuck Yeager's either. We've all flown with good/bad pilots and you cannot judge the book by the cover.

Y'all just need to get along, jeez. Once you've made it to the airlines, what else do you have to prove? Everyone has worked just as hard in their own way and everyone is trying to get to the majors. All past history has its ups and downs....it doesn't mean one is more deserving or better than the other. Once you have your ATP you're part of the club and should be held to the same standards professionally.
