Military

Dear Jetsnake,

My wish was not to offend and am sorry if I did so. My intent was to explain how those with a military past and military tendencies do well in a structured and closely directed environment. Not everyone can exceed under such circumstances. I agree that most companies are staffed by CEO's with a military past however I would like to point out that most companies and organizations are started by free thinkers and those with more of an open mind and self directed nature. Many pilots who came to Horizon from a single pilot night freight or Alaska bush pilot background are repelled by the strict Horizon Air system. Joiners and boy scouts not only survive the beatings but are inspired by the strong discipline and order. Sorry again if I upset anyone. I like the military and military people.
