I have no axe to grind. There are certainly some honorable people in the military. However my exposure to them at the airline has been for the most part those looking to cut corners, cheat the system and beat their chest. They are quick to yell for USERRA and always start with the “i can’t believe the company, other pilots etc would question my integrity “. All while boasting about something nefarious they did or planning to do.

I’m at the end of my career so I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve been very fortunate and try to be a professional in my work and an accountable and responsible employee to my company. It does irritates me when I see pilots tarnish this profession with greed.
