I'll bet the people making these determinations at the big airlines have been military so they know what they're evaluating. You can try to chock it up to good old boy network but it's not.
Your right all mitary guys are spot on and outstanding citizens. I must have missed the 4 Star General Pastreus scandal last year...
Bottom line is a 121 RJ CA is going to have ZERO issues and BS on OE at a legacy compared to a fighter jock whos never in his life flown in major Class Bravo or done 3-4 lgs a day. I dont even know how you can dispute that. Seriously.
Your right though, ive never flown military, but I did always find p it surprising the comments from 3 of my classmates who did fly military. They couldnt comprehend they were firehoused company OPs and systems in 4 weeks vs the 6 months spent in the school house in the military. Really?
