It sounds like AboveMins is peeved that he's not competitive enough for a legacy carrier. Did you fart around in the left seat of an RJ for ten years and not improve yourself in the meantime in any other way?

The military vs civilian rattling is ridiculous. I flew with a prior-Navy captain the other day.... It boggled my mind why the heck he was at a regional when given his impressive Navy reserve record, he ought to be at mainline. He wasn't any better or worse than any civilian pilot with whom I have flown for the record. In fact, he tended to nod off in the cockpit and seemed to be lackadaisical. At one point he drifted off course while conversing with ATC and simultaneously hand-flying (SOP violation right there). His CRM was terrible, too. Then it hit me that he wasn't motivated at all to move on, and was content on being a CRJ captain for the rest of his life (big, fat old Navy pension incoming for him too).

One thing is for sure, the low-time, inexperienced pilots whom you mock are pounding on the doors to get to the majors, while you sit behind your computer screen lamenting your lack of perseverance to move on! Perhaps your arrogance, entitlement and preconceived notions as to who should be employed by a major airline hinder you from being selected for such highly coveted positions. If you feel that you belong at a major, then why don't you fight for it?? Prove it to HR hiring departments that you are worth their attention.
