Be curious to see how many of those hired at "real" jobs were military. I bet over 50%.. Probably around 1500 of the 2800..
UPS/Fedex probably more like 85% military. SWA around 70%, DAL and AA not far behind at 66-70% from the charted numbers.. Alaska?
Jetblue/Spirit/UAL are where most of the actual civilian 121 pilots even get looked at favorably.
