aslo being an airline captain for a regional certanly gives some invaluable experience in leadership and dealing with challenging situations. never been in the military but ive held numerous leadership roles both in and out of aviation. military avaition is demanding and produces great skill sets like the ones you mentioned in pilots, but saying that is exclusive to military pilots is a fallacy
You are right and point welL taken.. being a captain of a regional is experience no military pilot coming straight from the service will.. there are goods and others military flying.. especially Tactical aviation brings.
Back to the OP
What is the average TT flow throughs have at time of flow?.. and PIC? The OP was discussing stopping the flow.. any discussion of doing UAL type where an interview is guaranteed... just not a job . That would make a lot of sense to me. My interview at the regional ( a WO of AA) was a joke. Asked me to read a TAF and brief an approach... that was it!.. not sure if it was the same for other applicants that day with little to no PIC. At least having to do the fit assessment / face to face interview could weed out the odd balls.
