They’ve done their time just like the senior regional captain. They go straight to a legacy.

Your assumptions point to that military guy being entitled. I disagree. Everyone makes choices in life. I chose to do 20 years in the military and retire. Then I came here for a second career. My military service entitles me to certain limited things, a career at a legacy is not one of them.

It’s what I was thinking but as a non-military it wasn’t my place to say it. Thank you for your service!

The same would apply to an experienced corporate pilot. I don’t think that they should serve 20 years flying in the military and then have to start over at a regional. If their military career was in a non-aviation position, then the regionals would be a good place to gain the flying experience. There are different paths to the legacies. The military pilots are not entitled to those positions, and neither are the regional pilots.

Way too much brain power to figure that one out. I am too busy entertaining my 2yr old daughter 😍

Take advantage of this time and enjoy it. It seems like yesterday that my daughter was 2, now we’re looking at colleges. Somehow in the blink of an eye, she’s almost grown, and I’m just old, grey, and 20 lbs overweight.
