I obviously wasn't talking about military guys. They don't usually get out by their mid 20's.
I remember seeing this pilot with 250 hours explaining how she worked hard to get her ratings and was a great pilot (all 4 seat GA). She was confident that she deserved the job at UAL more than a 10,000 hour Eastern pilot who lost his job in '89.
Interns, "my dad worked here", other EEOC bucket people....they all found a short cut. Good for them. It's perfectly OK. I retract my previous post.
(Where's the "sarcasm" emoji??)
I would just like to see these people maintain a VERY humble attitude. They didn't have to spend the full 15 years gaining experience that our average new hire pilot has to suffer through.
All too often, these folks think they got hired young since they "deserved it".
I spent many years at the commuters watching UAL hire off the bottom of our list. The "special people" were F/O's who made it into one of the coveted "buckets". It never seemed right.
Oh well. Not a major concern for me. Just a minor annoyance.

Within days of starting training, was able to contact the UAL office at my airport and get them to provide a letter that I took to the employee parking folks. Got a UAL funded parking pass by end of first week of training.
