Yes they do and yes they should. I didn't want to feed your trolling appetite on your last post, but I will now. Having done both I can state factually that military training is much more intense with much higher standards. It's not about the people, it's about the program. There are dumbasses and quality folks in both mil and civ.
I simply made an observation. Evidently a misinformed one. You provided an explanation. In turn, I made another observation. This diversion of topic was started by others (we started out talking about EMB 190s and who is "good enough" to fly them). I was pleased to see most folks putting the military/civilian issue to rest. Now to my regret, I mentioned something to the effect that even if we as pilots are "over it," evidently an air carrier is not (wherin I cited Skywest, and later the FAA).
You're awfully quick to jump on someone who made zero inflammatory comments. I appreciate your respectful correction regarding the FAA minimums. Not sure where you're coming from on this one.

Trolling? I'm not sure how you got the wrong impression of who I am or my intentions.

how about "Military superiority complex is alive and well at one of our Delta Connection partners."
or " Another source of military vs. civilian douche baggery perpetuation. Evidently they view military pilots as the better candidates for flying airliners"
this is not a case of "I simply made an observation"
this is your opinion put out on a forum built from a bunch of dumbass pilots opinions and rebuttals.
everything in quotes is from your previous 2 posts fyi

If the question is; Will military guys get out and want to fly an E190 at Delta, I would guess yes. BUT, there will be some who won't, no doubt, or they will stay in for 20+, secure their retirement, then get out at age 45 and get hired at Delta.
30 years ago the entry level position at Delta, (and every other Major) was 727 FE, on a B Scale. I know of only one guy in my Guard unit who wouldn't lower himself to apply to the Majors because he didn't want to be a Flight Engineer.
All the other Guard guys I knew then, who did lower themselves to fly FE, are all flying wide body Captain at one of the Majors now.
Think big picture here guys. You won't be stuck on the E190 forever, not with only 20 of them and with all the retirements the next 10 years.
