Late reply... but my class had 4 mil, 2 prior instructors. They were picked up and received calls from AS, DL and UPS as soon as they checked the 121 box and type rating. It’s a magical box for military but the Instructor school (my opinion) seems to have a huge factor. If they weren’t a fighter guy, mil guys seem to need over 2k to get the call. Of course there’s always the outsider...
