Thanks in advance
In no way is this correct. Both Officers and Enlisted personnel in the military are respected.
Can anyone qualified to fly for a major airline really not understand?
Ask yourself, can the USAF find people to promote to leadership positions?
Has EVERY single senior USAF pilot turned down EVERY single offer of promotion in two decades?
UPS is unable to get a single line Captain to take the FQS position ...... mmmm.
