Retired Navy Senior Chief....Finished my BS with ERAU the year I retired (2002)...was a CFI,CFII,MEI for 2 years before that....hired by first regional I interviewed with even though the year prior to hire, I held an operations management role –vs.- flying full time. I am convinced that my military service was a key reason I was given an opportunity based on the questions asked during the interview........ GO Veterans!!!!!
