Good on the mil guys for doing it!
Good for them in getting legit 121 exp, but I will say this.

Ill be 100% honest and tell you what 90% everyone else is too scared to say. It really ****es me off the argument MIL guys are better than Reg pilots. Heres why. For the record, I personally, know how i feel anout the military. My thoughts/views are my own. I could care less what anyone thinks about me. I will say this.

What do RJ pilots do every single F'n day? Thats right they fly into the SAME hubs, carrying the SAME F'n passengers from podunk USA to connect to NYC, LAX and every other major US Metropolitan for the legacies.

Heres whats idiotic. Do you honestly think any competent RJ CA, or senior competent RJ FO, is going to fail out of newhire training at mainline? A VAST majority = Hell no. They do the same god damn job!!!!! They only damn thing they are learning is a bigger plane and new company FOM and procedures. Yet certain legacies (cough cough Delta) have a raging hardon to hire military over an RJ guy who does the same job.

I realize this will be a moot point with the number of retirements soon, but it is crazy how, somehow, military jocks have such a tremendously better skill set than guys doing the same exact job, all intents and purpose.
