Bottom line is that since about 1985, on average (and this average varies
wildly from year to year) military pilots comprise around 70 percent of
new
hires for the majors.

How is that relevant to this thread? The idiot who started it all is
talking about CURRENT HIRING. Any other statistic is worthless. I read the
entire link, and the only part of it relevant to this thread is the part
that describes CURRENT HIRING.

If you're going to jump into an argument, make sure you have a clue about
what you're suppose to be arguing about.
