I don’t think that they are entitled. I think that they have the qualifications to get hired at a legacy, just as an experienced regional pilot does. The same would apply to an experienced corporate pilot. I don’t think that they should serve 20 years flying in the military and then have to start over at a regional. If their military career was in a non-aviation position, then the regionals would be a good place to gain the flying experience. There are different paths to the legacies. The military pilots are not entitled to those positions, and neither are the regional pilots.
