Also, I am sure your combat flying is really relevant in the civilian airline world, too. Yeah man, you are over-qualified.
I actually posted my background because I thought I was a little less qualified than many others. Also, I wanted to point out that you don't have to be a Space Shuttle pilot to get hired.
And as for your crack about my experience...what's your problem?
This job is not that difficult. There are tons of guys 26 years of age with around a 1000 hours in C-17/KC-10/KC-135/ C-5 who are aircraft commanders flying similar equipment on a lot more demanding flights than UPS/FDX pilots. My point is that there is a minumum threshhold to be qualified for this job. At some point there is a level of diminishing returns. Sure you are more experienced if you've crossed the Pacific 200 times compared to someone who has only done it 50, but I doubt that makes you a better pilot.
