OH Gawd!! Don't tell me you are the two guys in that new movie . .what was it
Uppyerbutt Mountain?
I was thinking that he said something to the effect that he had "wanted to be a pilot since he was a little kid". S-o-o-o, WHY the hell did he take a 90 degree turn after the Bachelor's Degree?
At 25, I was a LT with more than 1000 hours (military time). He, due to the 'detour' now has 25 year old peers out there who are nearly AF & USMC Captains and Navy LTs who ALREADY have thier basic 'log book' time for 'THE interview'.
While at some time in the distant future, the Masters 'might' be a slight plus, for the immediate future, it was a dreadful 'mis-step', if in fact, his true dream has always been to be an airline pilot. All this due to the fact that he SHOULD have known that 'senority' is LIFE at the airlines and the sooner you get 'the number', the sooner life gets better for you out there on the Line.
Just my 2 pennies worth
