Interesting that USAF can't retain the pilots needed for at least 5 (or more?) years.. I"m sure that's gonna sort itself out for now.. I'm getting calls from those that dropped retirement / resignation letters... "what do I do now??". seems theres' a rush to cancel those letters.. I"m guessing the Force will gladly entertain those queries. Hey, we have an unaccompanied tour for you in Middle Earth!!

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).

This right here. I’m just hoping there are no bailouts for any airlines. Especially the legacy carriers. They have had 20 years since their last bailout to get sorted. No more. I’m tired of supporting people on welfare indefinitely. I’m tired of supporting airlines while they record record profits and give jobs to those less qualified because the candidate is an aviation minority (non white male or female.). 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 saw one of those Skillshare videos on YouTube a couple months ago. If I remember correctly there’s only one cruise ship that is registered in the US as of right now.

Yeah the mil is short enough that they can absorb some reversal of the personnel exodus. Unlike some private companies, their feelings aren't hurt and they're not vindictive about it. Eventually they'll get a lot more entry-level applicants due to the economy, but anyone already qualified and experienced is in a different category.
