I wasn't responding to the original poster. I only read the forst
sentance
of his drivel before I skimmed on through the thread.

If you want to know what the thread is about, you need to read the original
message. Otherwise, you do something stupid like read a sentence that
clearly means one thing in context, and interpret it to mean something
entirely else.

Which is exactly what you did here. Obviously my statement was specifically
about pilots being hired, since that's what the thread is about. I didn't
see a need to waste a bunch of words clarifying that I'm talking about
pilots being hired, since the thread is about pilots being hired. It's not
my fault you can't be bothered to read before you post.

What kind of idiot takes the time to intentionally mispell someone else's
name? Oh, that's right. Your kind of idiot. I forgot. My fault.

Your claim that the
airlines "seem to have a 'liking' for ex-military pilots" is utter B.S.
Most commercial pilots are NOT from the military.

Which is utter BS . . . Mostly.

It's not BS at all. Even if you take my statement literally out of context,
it's true that most commercial pilots are not from the military.
Furthermore, it's utter BS that the airlines "seem to have a liking" for
ex-military. They hire who they can hire. The fact that the military
provided a glut of pilots looking for jobs in the past is a) irrelevant to
someone looking for a job today, and b) does not show any indication
regarding who airlines "like" or "don't like".

If you'd bothered to pay attention to the context though, you'd have noticed
(maybe) that the topic here is who the airlines are hiring now. Even if we
only restrict the concept to *airline* hiring, it's still true that most are
not ex-military.

As stated in my reply, you are probably right that most "commercial"
pilots
are not military. But you specifically mentioned AIRLINE PILOTS.

I never specifically mentioned "AIRLINE PILOTS" explicitly, as it happens.
I have no idea why you are claiming that I did.

It's right there in black and white, Pete.

Yes, it is. Too bad you haven't bothered to read it.
