I like the "son" part....really mature and made me want to listen to you
Civilian side through instrument
lmfao.
The civilian track most people are discussing here is 1500ATP -> regionals THEN competitiveness for a major app.
I would argue that anyone with 1000hrs 121 TPIC from a regional is more qualified than any single pilot coming out of the military. The are applying for the EXACT same job, different airplane. Already proven themselves.
The .mil guys have proven they can read checklists and QRH's that end up telling them to divert/exactly how to make a decision. Not even remotely applicable in the 121 world.
