Civilian pilots get hired too, they just have to find other boxes to check.

I could definitely see the military guys showing up prepared and looking sharp for an interview so that makes sense. It's the select few 121 guys that show up that seem to give us all a bad name but I can't imagine a military guy not showing up on time and looking sharp.
The military guys catch up pretty quickly. I bet there is little difference by their first line check.

Btw, my geography is pretty bad but I don't think Sully landed on the Potomac

Everything is new for a military guy and they may not have the frame of reference to deal with training situations as efficiently as 121 guys.

Just goes to show that I don't think a 121 guy is any better than a military guy and I don't think a military guy is any better than a 121 guy. They both bring excellent backgrounds and they both seem to catch up at some point. Delta must feel a little differently about it since 40% are flow 60% are OTS guys hired and of the 60% OTS guys, 50% of those are military. So only 10% of the OTS the street guys being interviewed are civilian.

Here is the latest on DAL hiring:
Currently hiring 85/month but looking at increasing to 100 or even 115 per month.
2014 new hire estimate – 880.
340 approved in 2015 (Jan –Apr) but we currently plan on hiring indefinitely. That is 4 months at 85/month so if we bump up hiring those numbers will probably change.
2014 hires – 51% civilian/ 37% military/ 12% combination of both.
