It’s all about money. They need to get you in and out flying the line quickly and cheaply. While a mil back ground is a proven quantity... getting recurrent and back up to speed is a huge variable from one pilot to another. That’s a big cost. Compound that by getting recurrent in a new airplane in a completely different operating environment with the costs involved and you can start to understand their hesitancy. It’s not that they don’t want you, but they want you ready to go.
It’s just the way it is. You can ***** about it, or you can get cracking.
