But for expectation management, military is not just another flying job, much more than that and previous flying experience gives you only a very limited advantage in training (and it can easily be a big disadvantage if you have the wrong attitude).

At my last job (Skywest) I flew with awesome white guys at 30 years old with 5k pic in 121, degree no black marks, and all that. Nothing. Crickets. But Manuella Ramirez who just got off IOE and has 1600 hours, HIRED! I’m Latino but only applied at one of the legacies because I don’t want to work anywhere else. I left my regional because I didn’t want to commute, thus I’m getting a confirmed ticket at my ACMI. Life is a zillion times better. Rant over.

I"m guessing the Force will gladly entertain those queries. Hey, we have an unaccompanied tour for you in Middle Earth!!
