The best airline pilots get the best routes for the best airlines and are mostly retired military. At the other end you have cargo pilots and regional flights that carry a brand of major airline but are operated by a different company.
Look at salary differences.

- AptExtrapolatio 3y ago>The best airline pilots get the best routes for the best airlines and are mostly retired military. Curious about this. I'd have thought going the civilian route of flight school should put one on equal footing on this regard? Or are you saying that just statistically more long-tenured pilots are retired military?
