In my previous post I was referring to Horizon Air in the mid-1990's. Up until lately it was hugely popular with retired military pilots. However over the last few years it seems that Horizon Air made the preference to hire fresh college kids for whatever reason. My guess is that when they do hire again they will have an onslaught of highly experienced industry professionals to choose from.

That is certainly one good example; but you know that I never said no one ever did it - I said that I didn't know a single one - and I don't. HercDriver130 is from a different service and different community than I, nor do I know what kind of experience or qualifications he may have brought to the table. Now I was specifically speaking of the people that I know that got out in the mid 90s; since then I do know one squadronmate who got out in 2002 and went to SkyWest.
