Military guys have no 121 time and the legacies are tripping over themselves hiring these guys. I agree with the above posters though. If you're under 45 years old with all those quals, they know you be gone soon.
The demographics of the recent classes has changed from historical ones. Before, you could've counted the ex-military on our seniority list with one hand and the average new hire was in their early 30's. We have seen a substantial increase in the amount of ex-military and the average age has gone up well into the mid 40's. Do they like military because they are used to rigorous training programs, or is it because they have limited experience with unions and management relations and are viewed as more submissive to management? If it's the latter, management is in for a rude awakening because these guys are learning quickly.
