Some to be sure. Maybe even a “bunch” No where near a majority thankfully. Gary and Karl and the others have made sure of that over the last 8-10 years.

1221 for one thing. Also, I just flew with an FO that’s a new hire mentor that has access to the list of NHs and what their backgrounds are. Out of a class of 61, only 2-3 were AF and only one was a Marine. The rest were all corporate, regional, other major, etc.
Hate to say it but when you don’t have a 20 year military retirement that gets deposited every month, you tend to have more “fight” in you when it comes to contracts. That’s been my direct observation over the last 24 years in this biz. Sorry, basic human nature and psychology.

Oh, and I’m in no hurry to get a new contract so they can keep delaying all the want. In the end, it’s just gonna cost them more. But being a part of the check of the month club helps…

Side note: I’m surprised by how many people assume former mil means retiree. It’s got to be a minute proportion that are actually receiving pension payments. The rest of us are just quitters like me and definitely have a learning curve when it comes to company-union dynamics…but we’ve got skin in the game same as everyone else.
