My new hire [Continental] class in 2007 had quite a few 91/135 guys in it. Not sure why everyone thinks that 135 guys don't have college degrees
Who knows, but it's not an ALPA thing. The only time ALPA was involved in hiring was encouraging MEC's to help laid-off ALPA members with job interviews.
As far as the military/civilian/121/135/91 thing, it's always been airline specific. Usually the quality of the airline dictates the pool and the quality of the hires but when times get tough anything goes.
