No, I think we are discussing different things. My comment was on the perceived unfair advantage (my words) that former military pilots have on hiring. I think that for the company former military pilots are a much more known quantity when compared to their civilian counterparts. As such the company likes to hire them. I come from a civilian background. I have noticed that for the most part former military pilots usually have 1. a good attitude. 2. are very motivated. 3. fit into the structure of the airlines very well. It does matter what is on your resume. So, that's all I got to say about that.
