I don't know what all the fuss is about. About 95% of the captains I fly with at big D are ex-mil and ...
1) They don't advertise it. You have to ask them what they did prior to Delta.
2) I haven't noticed a difference between the services or the aircraft (except the Marines are a bit "out there," the navy guys are the most laid back.)
3) 99% of the captains I've flown with are the highest-caliber, friendliest, most professional group of aviators I've come across yet -- by a mile. I'm on airline #3. There was never any "hazing" like the bull******************** at ACA (a farkin commuter for God's sake.)

I have never met an F-15 guy who was anything but a toolbag.
the Air Force for 23 years, and that he will try not to get the urge to do a barrel roll. What followed was one of the least smooth flights I have been on in a long time.
How do you know your pilot used to fly fighters? He will tell you.
non-revving from CHS to ATL the other day, the captain comes out of the cockpit just before pushback and grabs the microphone to say a few words. He introduces the flight attendants (nice), introduces the FO (great), and tells us the flight time and the weather (fine).
He then goes on to say he flew fighters in the Air Force for 23 years, and that he will try not to get the urge to do a barrel roll. What followed was one of the least smooth flights I have been on in a long time.
NRSA on a Delta MD-88, and one of the pilots (not sure which one) tells everybody in his PA how he spent the previous X amount of years at American-Eagle before Delta, and before that went to Embry-Riddle University for his aviation degree.
How many pax bolted for the door?
The Chappie James/ Robin Olds generation. They don't make them like that anymore.
I'll vouch for AlbieF15. I'd venture a guess that he's helped a number of us on here...myself included.
"Black Man and Robin!"
It boggles my mind why people don't understand basic punctuation and spelling. Just look at how f&*d up it looks.
:laugh:
I agree with you there. The worst I've flown with though was a former KC-10 driver, or any ex-marine.
