Why didn't your military time get you straight to a major?
As I'm 40 years old, I doubt you're much older than me, if at all. If you're so old, why aren't you at a major? You could have been there prior to 2001. You can choose to be positive and blind. I choose to be realistic and plan for the worst. AA invested years ago with very little since. We're a "growing" airline with a shrinking pilot group. That's not exactly a plan for success. Even if they turned things around today, we are 4-6 months at the earliest from seeing the effects on the line.
More experience? I would gladly compare aircraft I've flown in the foreign countries and conditions I've flown against your record.
I have to get the helo stink off me. But I guess with your myopic view of the world, every military pilot was a fighter pilot.
