That’s a big part of why we have the system that we do today. When they leave the military, they go to the bottom of a legacy, when a regional pilot leaves brand X express, they also go to the bottom of a legacy. Military pilots aren’t going to serve their country for 20 years and then go start at the bottom of a regional list with people straight out of a Cessna flight school. They’ve done their time just like the senior regional captain. They go straight to a legacy.
