I have yet to encounter a .mil pilot that impresses me with their awesome Uncle Sam flying skills.
Thank you. This includes regionals and the direct hires into majors. I had experience with two former military applicants who had no idea what a flow was. According to them everything they did was READ-DO. The simple flow concept like blew their mind causing some embarrassing struggle. When I finished college 5-years ago the big talk was about airlines not preferring military candidates due to the lack of CRM training. However, like someone else said it ain’t the flying experience that gets them into the door, it’s the padded resumes. There’s a lot of lazy OTS guys who like to play the ‘see how fast I can reach the minimums’ game (side note: kind of unsettling knowing there’s regional captains up there with only 2 years total industry exp all as an FO) then apply to a legacy only to get hired 10 years later because their resume doesn’t separate them from the rest of crowd. Then complain about it... airlines hire ‘professionals’ not ‘pilots’ and your background should reflect that.
