I got hired with 7000 hours, of which most heavy time on the 787. I’ve seen some amazing pilots as cadets on the 787, with less than 300 hour time that have their stuff together but not that much experience, can you blame them? No. I’ve also seen some awful pilots with 12,000 hours that couldn’t find an MEL if their life depended on it in a short period of time.

I think it depends on what you were flying in the military. They do take a chance on military guys for sure. In my humble opinion, the 121 world is vastly different from military land, and so you’ll be a step behind in training. However, military people know hard training programs and will more than apply themselves to make up for it. On the mil playground, you’re constantly reminded that if you don’t cut the mustard, you’re gone — whether that’s actually true or not is up for debate. Here, nobody will be throwing that in your face, but you’ll still think it and be fine. Just because you may not know a Jepp plate or what a ramp frequency is for doesn’t mean you won’t do just fine.
