Sorry - military pilots are no more entitled to a mainline job than a regional pilot.
Military pilots EARNED their way to a major. Not BOUGHT their way through training, as most regionals pilots have.
Military pilots get standardized, professional training in fast jets with a real jeopardy involved.... unlike regional pilots.
Military pilots blah blah blah...
Nobody put a gun in your head to fly military. The pilots have two options in their career, military or civilian.
You decided to serve the country good, I appreciate it. But, that doesn't entitle you for a civilian career.
At least as a civilian we won't have to live with the remorse of killing someone in my super fast jet with guns and ammo.
Again, thanks for your service, but you have to grow as a person.
Nobody is entitled to nothing, everybody have to earn their position interviewing and be the best at what they do.
Continuing with the main topic...
Sorry guys, we told ya that wasn't going to be pretty. Btw my friend told me that they will increase health benefits payments 8% and that the per diem will no go up in 2017. Is that for real??? That's a major concession!
