Lots of aviators coming out of the military branches who totally trump your existance. Reality hits you hard bro.
Hmmmmm.......I bet you guys are the regional scumbags who wear backpacks to work, aren't you!
Reality is that each major airline who is hiring has thousands of resumes to sort from. Sure, we all know the 0 Total PIC guy without a college degree who slipped through the system. But those guys are few and far between.
The VAST majority of professional aviators landing jobs at "destination airlines" are well groomed, educated, experienced, and these attributes make their resume rise to stack "A".
Keep on dreaming if you're a backpack wearing regional FO who has one bullet point: "RJ First Officer".
1. Can't Stand the backpacks, by which I see lots of mainline as well as regional guys wearing. I agree it's very unprofessional looking.
2. Nope not a regional FO- got more TPIC time than most 90% of guys coming out of the military (since you brought it up)
3. Read the other threads on this forum. Lots of guys getting out of the military are considering regionals, because again, legacies are not hiring.
4. Got a 4 year degree. (go dogs!)
Your clueless.
