I’m not sure if the fighter background helps or hurts in the vetting process post interview based on my aircraft flying background. Folks in my class had similar timing... some non-fighter military, mil/121 mix and some with no military. That said, others took a while because they told us AA has to check back on every flying job by law. It’s obvious many pilots who’ve come up through the civilian world end up in many different jobs trying to build experience. For me, I’d been in the military for almost 28 years so one call verified all employment. I heard the HR lady talking to one applicant asking, “Can you try to track down a phone number or something for these older jobs? I know some may not even still be in business but we’re required by law to try”.
