Amazing that VR is hiring guys off the street. In the old days, we had more than enough Naval Aviators pounding on the door whenever we had selection boards.
Of course, that was LONG before Ensigns out of flight school could get VR orders.

Keep in mind they weren't SELRES, they initially had a shortened active duty commitment and then they could try to screen for FTS or SELRES. Most had no problem screening as "junior most qualified" was easy for them.

Starting as VR on AD....I don't know if there is a AD career path..unless it's FTS....weird circumstances to be sure....but I would assume that these few...will be jumping to a major ASAP with their 1000+ hours of 737 time and a type rating...and only 30y/o to boot....must be nice!
