By the time a pilot is a captain it is difficult to tell and most will not volunteer that information. In addition those who have received a big hand up might not realize it themselves. I mean doesnt everyone have a mother who is related to the wing commander?

There ya go again, Sky...more BS about a subject you have zero experience in.
Uncles don't get people fighter assignments. Class standing in UPT does. Wing commanders aren't involved in the assignment process.
Are there folks who get a little help along the way? Of course...life is life, in the airlines or out.
But most make it on their own. You didn't. Carrying on here as you do won't expunge your demons. You failed...get over it.
Since you want to use military analogies, quit acting like a ****ed off, passed over jerk...in or outside of the military, folks like yourself are not unusual. But they usually are alone.
Go build a house. Make something positive out of your life. All of this repetitious and often erroneous whining isn't contributing anything to anyone.
