High hours pilots, mil or civvy, with experience of different types and different ops will always have an advantage over newly qualified pilots in the job market. Fact of life, and an advantage you'll probably think is reasonable when you get to that stage.
In what way are pilots who paid for training more deserving of a job than ex military pilots who will have got through a competitive selection procedure and then survived rigorous training with a high risk of being chopped at any stage before they are awarded their wings?
