Only if that airplane doesn't have an FMS and an autopilot.

the more I reflect on this, the more I feel this is a positive. Imagine (sarcastic) if the next change is "Must have a Pilots license", how supremely qualified we all would be.

Must be able to recognize a 737 on the ramp 2 out of 3 times.

For what it's worth, I interviewed recently and didn't get hired. 20 years of C-130, 4k, Evaluator.

I felt good when I left the interview, but I obviously didn't do something right. Don't take it lightly (not that I did).

This just goes to show that pilots will complain about anything. People have been asking forever about the TPIC requirement going away, and now that it's gone guys are complaining about MIL vs CIV numbers when the application window hasn't even closed yet.

Sort of......I've flown with enough ex-Mil pilots to start to understand the greatly various types of flying that they come from.

I can't speak to everyone's experiences, but in my past assignment, we flew SIDs/STARs and various approaches to practically every country in Asia minus North Korea and China. Everyone's mileage may vary but the arguement that a lot of mil guys don't have a lot experience flying SIDs and STARs is idiotic at best. Neither the 10000 RJ captain nor the Weapons School Evaluator pilot is entitled the job over the other. Both bring valuable skill sets to the team.
