Based on what I've read here, US Air's competitive requirements make it difficult for those with strictly military experience to get an interview call, especially for those that separated from AD after 10-12 years of military flying (traditional Guard/Reserve with currency), slightly less difficult for recently retired military with currency.

It may be that a recently hired US Air pilot's military experience is purely coincidental to their 121 experience. I am aware of few exceptions, but as where 12 years of strictly military time (fighters = 2500 TT/2000 TPIC, heavies = ?) is more than competitive at some major airlines, I don't think it is at US Air.

Many 2000 TPIC military folks are going to the regionals for various reasons. My opinion is that with the advent of third-party HR process, the K/S/T screening paradigm drastically favors 121 experience over military experience.

I'd love to be shown otherwise.
