Can't thank you gentlemen enough for your time. Maybe patience is the answer here in my case? I know of many mil guys who bypassed that level-as they should. I sure any HR rep worth their salt can say "yep, he may not have accumulated 6K hours flying between EWR and BUF, but he does have solid international, oceanic, and heavy military PIC experience - we can train him on how to call for push back."

On a serious note, maybe I would go into cardiac arrest (and lose my medical) sharing a less than desirable hotel room with a 23yo kid getting paid 250 wk during training? LoL.

Thanks again!
