I am just saying two different paths same outcome
Let's not forget that the military applicants to be pilots are many and the military can be very selective. They ones that make the final cut are the best and brightest America has to offer. I doubt ATP has that kind of pool to choose from. Also ATP has to compete in the market place. They have to make money so I doubt they turn many away.
