Hey best while you just sit and read, are you just a upt wash out,or maybe your a wso who claims to have been a aircraft commander, or maybe you were RIFed as a 1st LT, That can explain your venom.

Ok Ill bite, "the best" is obviously a know it all jack-hole. Having flown both corporate and military I know for a fact that some civies have absolutely no idea what military flying is about. They are the ones that say: "must be nice not having to pay for your training". The easiest thing we did in the military is the most challenging phase of flight in the corporate world. BTW best - "getting stuck in the ice" sounds like poor planning on your part.

Kudos Plane!!!!!

I was always under the impression that Mins dont apply to military guys.
I was down in training for Jet Blue 3 weeks ago to throw bags and was talking to the pilot class and 9 out of 10 were military. One of them told me himself that they have a conversion table so your 1500 looks more like 3000.
In addition military guys all take care of each other and walk each others resumes up so where are your old squad buddies flying right now? call em up and tell them to get you a job at Fedex UPS Soutwest or Jetblue and its already done deal. Dont go to a regional FO for only 20 grand a year. If you have to go to a regional tell them to hire you as a captain.
Why do you think im applying to the guard right now? Its the best of both worlds, i get paid good money to fly cool planes, protect my country, and in 10 or 20 years when im done hopefully i get a job right with a major airline

This is a bit of an exaggeration. JB has a 1.3 multiplier, not 2.0 that you are inferring above. Plus, you have to get an interview before your buds can help you out with a recommendation.

"Tell them to hire you as a captian" Now thats funny. That would be a short interview.
