Didn't you just say you're interviewing NAI guys in that other thread? LOL!!!
I'll give equal standing to the one who's been flying pax into GCC at midnight as the kingair intel gatherer (drones around for hours in circles). Your personality will probably be the deciding factor.

My NAS training experience was seven months long. It consisted of an EASA medical and Norwegian air force swim test, One month at Boeing Miami, one month in Norway doing corporate training including CRM with an ex Norwegian air force pilot psychologist. We did the cabin crew cooperation CRM course and security equipment training with British Airways. My three line trainers were a Dutch ex-navy instructor with over 20 years of TRI/TRE experience at KLM, an ex Luftwaffe Tornado instructor, and an Emirates TRI/TRE. Many in my class were ex military and we had a couple of Red Bull racers at the company as well.
You may not like the political aspect of Norwegian but to say the training experience is somehow subpar to U.S. domestic or even a regional carriers is completely disconnected from reality.

After 19 years in the right seat of my major airline I can say I see no difference in airmanship between civilian and military. I’ve flown with excellent captains, military and civilian and I’ve also flown with not so excellent captains, military and civilians.
Let’s not make the assumption that all pilots tried to get in the military and only the best made it. There are plenty of outstanding pilots that had no desire whatsoever to join the military.
Lots of chest thumping going on here. After 19 years of observation from the right seat I can say to all the ex military guys who think just because you are ex military you’re better than the civilian guys........you aren’t.

Basically what it boils down to is that a
1. military officer in his 30s has done much more than just fly a plane.
2. They’re a known quantity. There’s a huge difference between North dakota and a mom and pop FBO, there’s even a difference between Purdue and Embry Riddle. You don’t see those differences on military flight school with the exception of the Navy vs the Air Force

Seriously? You saw his comment as chest thumping?

And apparently you locked on my chest thumping comment and read nothing else.

After 19 years, yeah we’re all the same, but in the context of new hires. the hiring board looks at a 40 year old military officer differently than they look at a 23 year old-and they should.

I also recognize the difference between what it takes to get accepted to a military pilot training program and if Mommy and Daddy can write a check to Mom and Pop.
It appears from all the butthurt that has been exhibited on this thread you "Mom and Pop" guys recognize the truth. You have quite a chip on your collective shoulders.

From: It's still a Guppy, just a bit longer.
Exactly my point. I'm referring to TRAINING and qualification period. If I'm talking to an ex-military or UND guy I know what I'm getting (P.S. I'm a graduate of the UND Accident Investigation Course). I've seen the license mills in operation as well.

Everyone brings something. The sad thing isn't any butthurt, it's the fact that someone with that extreme sort of prejudice is in a hiring position.
