Navy buddy went to one of those conferences/conventions, was told you might want to do some community service. :confused::confused::confused:

Funny thing is, military guys are trained to go out and kill people because our politicians cannot figure things out and in order to get hired, they want a Boy Scout on their resume.

What is your concern with training? It's easy...

That ridiculous. I'm sure that guy had been on numerous deployments away from his family. If that isn't community service, I don't know what is.

I wonder if the wholly owned carriers are requiring volunteer work on the resume to get hired since a WO new hire will eventually be at mainline.

I'm not concerned with training as much as I hate being in DFW any longer than I have to. I was asking because I have a buddy in the pool who grew up in Delaware and was hoping to get PHL, but he wasn't sure if he'd move up the ranks quickly in the 190.

Sorry if it hurts anyone's feelings but the military guys, almost without exception, volunteer.

And no one has any obligation to try and meet the standards a future employer might have. That's the beauty of freedom of choice.

That's only because they need OPR bullets to get promoted.
