I think we will find that this is the case with both groups about a lot of things. Most of us will get along fine, some of us won't. Both groups have a majority of good guys (and gals) that share a small space in an aluminum tube for days at a time, and we each have our people with an "interesting" take on life. In my own guard unit I have known UAL guys that I thought were a-holes and UAL guys that were truly awesome guys to go flying with. My experience jumpseating on UAL has been nothing but positive. I look forward to the chance to raise the bar with my new brothers and sisters and take this profession back to where it should be. The enemy is management.

Herc, this really is not true at Ual. Don't feel that way just because one or two people on this site make those comments about military guys, that does not speak for all the pilots. There is a big mix of pilots at united with all different backgrounds, I routinely fly with military from all branches, corporate, regional folks, general aviation and most get along great and mix well in the cockpit and on layovers.
