2) NOTHING will prepare you for that first push back in the ATL with catering trucks and baggage carts whizzing behind your jet and the ramp asking you for your RNAV departure. Nothing. You think you know, you don't.

Prepare yourself to be immediately humbled and challenged. You won't be in Kansas anymore. It'll rock your military mind.

With all that said, we welcome you and are so thrilled that you are joining our ranks. If anybody has questions, please PM me.

Cheers!

And gasp, they even hire civilians

And if it's NOT all 7 yet, they say it's just a matter of time.
What I think Buzzpat was getting at was that no matter what type of flying experience MILITARY flyers have, airline flying will still blow their minds. Freight dogs will fit in like a glove.

There someone goes dissing another pilot group just because they think everyone should want Delta. Can we do a couple things, one get back to the topic of the thread and two stop thinking we know what's best for everyone. Keep in mind everyone is different, some people would prefer to be gone for 2 wks then home for 2 wks rather than never having a chance to unpack for 10+ years of their lives....just saying, don't judge.

And double that for a fighter guy who flew single seat for 20 years. First on the panel and then in the right seat it took a long time to get comfortable - just no way to prepare for what it's like (especially that first time into JFK)

Lol, I remember the new hire in the right seat making the call "gear down, full stop". I just snickered and said " they're all full stops".
