The conversation of mil flying versus regional flying is stupid.

Majors hire mil guys because that type of training is much more rigorous compared to an airline training program. It’s not about F-16 pilots lighting their hair on fire as they fly 10 feet over the trees at 500 kts.

Mil aviators have proved to be reliable hires time and time again. Don’t fix it if it’s not broken.

As far as the argument of regional pilots flying mainline passengers, but not getting a mainline job. If you’re resume looks like the other 20,000 regional pilots, you need to do something to stick out.

Get a bachelors, network, become LCA, something. Now, for the guys that did all the right things and still didn’t get a call, just keep updating your app and networking. That’s all you can do.

Lay this argument to rest. It’s dumb. It is what it is. Play the game and move on.
