Sorry for the sarcastic response, but from two ex-pilot friends of mine for the majors who were non-military, I believe you are SOL.

So does that mean that the vast majority of pilots are ex-military? I mean, I know they're mostly former USAF, but are we talking 70-80% or more like 99%?

Listening to ATC on UA channel 9, I've noticed that lots of overseas pilots sound like they're American. Which made me wonder if the supply of ex-military pilots in the US exceeds the supply of domestic airline jobs.
