When an Air Force pilot join the airline as a miniority they get screwed by the civilian majority. From experience they get screwed up rosters, flight checks etc etc that ultimately lead to a hazardous situation that effect their flight.

Even a General MUST spend at least 6 month on a particular plane as a co-pilot to learn the rope before being promoted to commander. Even that is not enough they must fly supervised by an intructor for 6 months before being released on line. This is for them to adapt and to unlearn things they do in the Air force.

No airline does this simply because they lack the. .psychological understanding of AF pilot. Or rush them through hoping they prang somewhere along the line.
