"Tell you what...when the airlines make their selection and training programs as rigorous as the U.S. military, you'll get my endorsement for low time pilots flying Part 121. The current process doesn't even come close. Go out and pay some dues fellas"

Agree with the above. The problem is the guys screaming the loudest ARE the low time guys themselves that see no point in paying dues or building experience before putting on the uniform. MAPD/FSA direct track/Jet U/Gulfstream don't come close to a million dollar military training program. Plus, the selection process for the military is a cut above just having a checking account.
