I love sweeping generalities. Especially from someone who's admitted to being out of the business that he so aggressively criticizes for years. How the hell would he know who or what is being hired? Kit Darby and his crowd? They put out bad info all of the time.
I don't know the actual figures where I work. To the best of my knowledge, the company doesn't make them public. But I know what I see in AOC and on the line. My line dog guess is that the military is still getting the majority of the jobs. But I would not say that it was a lion's share. Again, purely guessing, I'd think it was in the 60%-40% range. But we do hire a lot of civilian people. And guess where they're coming from? The regional carriers that SkyLow is constantly flaming. (Don't bother, SkyLOw. I know it's a smalll percentage of the total.) The company wants glass cockpit experienced people. (Remember, glass cockpit people don't know how to fly. It has been written and decreed.) So the regionals are a good source for those pilots. In fact, a bunch of our Nuggets are out of the regionals.
More wasted keystrokes. When am I going to learn?
