With a name like Chinabug, I think he might choose the airline that will take him there more often
But then again that would be my best guess

I've spent the last few weeks collecting data on the typical résumé of military guys getting hired at DAL and UAL right now. Info was gathered from people I know/met personally or networked with as well as dozens of pilots who PM 'd me in response to questions i posted here on APC (to include a half dozen guys that were hired at both). While there are exceptions, here's the typical profile:
Mil recent (last 6 months) or soon to be retired:
High powered military resumes (commanders or directors of ops, PME complete, lots of IP/SEFE/NATOPS, formal training IP (UPT, FTU or RAG), masters degrees, OGV and/or Safety backgrounds, etc. all the military "square fillers" are getting the calls now.
Separating military:
IP time in multiple airframes, SEFE/NATOPS, IP in a formal training environment, patch/Top Gun or OGV/Safety backgrounds. Typical military career progression to include PME.
Guard/Reserve:
IP, SEFE/NATOPS, and currently Part 121.
Right now UAL seems to have a slight lean toward <35 yr old guys. DAL seems to have a slight preference for retirees.
As time goes on, I 'm sure the gene pool will thin out a bit. For now, it appears that the same qualifications that would lead to a successful military career are what these two airlines are looking for.
As I said, I've found some exceptions...but they are outliers.
Hope this helps prospective mil guys build expectations. Congrats and thank you to those new hires who sent me your backgrounds.

Oh by the way, DAL asks interviewees to provide copies of every Performance/fitness report. I knew from some of the discussion in the interview that at least the last couple had been read by the panel.
