There are plenty of plenty of quality pilots in the right seat that because of certain circumstances they could not obtain the magic 1000k pic hours..
I believe everyone does have an equal opportunity. Anyone can enlist and attempt to go to pilot training. And you thought of that since you knew the Major's gave preference to ex-mil pilots. My new hire class had 28 pilots in it. Only 3 civilians. I was very proud to be hired alongside of those men and women. As always, minimums are minimums. What people are getting hired with is different.
