Oh brother....
My goodness...you sound like you have a dislike for some former military guys. If you're referring to me, Sideshow, I was just a lowly LtCol with no significant commands. The Air Force did this crazy thing and actually let me fly for 20 years straight with no desk jobs before I got lucky enough to get hired on by UPS. Flying is all I ever wanted to do. I surely don't have a beef with the seniority system...We've all done the Captain thing before and I'm more than content to wait my turn for the left seat again. It seems that some others aren't content to wait their turn in this seniority system though, and are willing to denigrate the older folks in their way. I can complain with the best of them, but I try not to cross the line into a mewling whiner. It's a fine line to walk.
