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 like to hear that you were hired with so many hours. I hav 6000+ with 4300+ PIC and haven’t heard anything and was concerned they would not look at me because I had too many

keep your app updated. Every 2 weeks. Recruiting had a pile of resumes to work through.
I’m sure you’d enjoy it here..

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.

Agree absolutely in principal; but you may find yourself presented with a Jepp approach plate or star in an interview. There’s some great videos on Jeopesens site; worth looking over if you get a chance…

Not yet. Our training is starting to look more and more like AQP each year, including FOs now doing a sim twice a year, but not AQP... yet.
