That's ALWAYS been a given. Much, if not all this type of discussion centers around the civilian track.
Are you sure it's a "majority" though? Ive run into plenty of former AD, reserve, or gaurd that didn't fly tactical jet/F-teens but still managed to get hired. IOW, multi crew/tanker/transport get hired, just like fighter pilots do.
