Exactly. Like most of the bros in my squadron that have YEARS of experience flying high performance aircraft and all of a sudden they are out of the picture. I think it's just a shame that they're gonna miss out on a lot of experience.
I think they would rather have someone from a "crew" airplane instead of someone coming out of an F-15 anyway. Why would you want someone who's done it all by themselfs to come be your F/O for 8 years... I wouldn't - I don't know one good reason an airline would hire a military guy out of a single seat fighter.
