There's no evidence that I suggested it was "unique;" only that I suggested it was overlooked in alignment with a clear, longstanding bias towards military aviators.
Certainly. Now comes the question of frequency: how much time was spent behind desks saddled with management tasks for the air wing at the expense of flight time? What did they average a month? Ten hours? Fifteen? You think a retiree exiting the service after twenty years with 3000 hours TOTAL TIME is in the same league? Christ.
We're talking about DIFFERENT professions any way you cut it and, in addition to that, which background is more relevant (and beneficial) to operating transport category aircraft for an air carrier. My argument for the REASON behind this clearly unjust bias is that they're looking to hire future management...that's all.
You don’t think that military pilots fly busted up, antiquated aircraft that guzzle fuel with maintenance issues through horrendous weather in the dark, simply surviving (some colleagues did not) while passing sim and flight check rides, avoiding getting violated, while learning when to push back?

This implies it was unique and that non military pilots did not experience it:
“....1000% more ‘relevant’ in comparison to ANYTHING the military has to offer airlines. I don’t care what the job was”

Two different professions with some LIMITED overlap do not make for identical experiences.

Giving years of military service to this country, while being prepared to die for it, shows all the character that a company needs to know about you. Flying is the easy part and they can train just about anybody to fly within their standards.
Preference is given to veterans in almost every industry in the USA.
By the way, it’s not too late to go join up with the Army..

The slobbering over the .mil is largely an American concept. In other countries people in the military are often viewed as being on government welfare, which it is.

As for character I have met amazing doodles and I have met some very shady, very unsavory and very non professional ones. Please don’t act like just signing up gives you some superiority of character over those that haven’t.

So should fire fighters and police also get preferential hiring? They risk their lives everyday for their entire careers for our country.
