Military guys/gals, Regional pilots, Legacy pilots, and cargo pilots all bring different experiences to an airline/flight deck. It is important to put egos aside and just do the job. I know that is difficult when we are all applying for the same job but these airlines hire a whole person concept. If we aren't getting hired maybe it is for a reason. With that said, I disagree with what CtYank66 had to say.

Gee,
B.H.FR8 D.
let's see, I think I'd rather have a 5 yrs, 3,000 hrs. EMB or CL pilot who spent his/her career flying out of DEN, ORD, or LGA,
than a RMA career B-52, C 135, P-3 etc. with 3,000 hrs, 300 to/land. and a butt load of powerpoint lectures sitting in the right seat!

All pilots being something to the table. IMHO Airlines are better today with a mix of past experiences.

What an idiot! Military aviators bring a lot to the table. There is a reason the military can make an Aircraft Commander/PIC in less time than in the civilian airline can. It's the training. Granted they don't have butt load of hours or a lot of experience operating at busy airports but the amount of emergency training they go thru is a lot and is second to none! They fly around the world with little to no help.

When it comes to this flying, the military guys don't bring more to the table than anyone else here. I know they would like to think they would.... But it's not the case. If you are a "civie" and have a good attitude, APPLY! I would love to fly with you. Some of the best I've seen here are the guys from the regionals (no I'm not a regional guy).
And let's leave the 2~3 briefs and debriefs at the door
