AAAHHHH!!!!! Yes, Yes, luck and timing was very much on your side. But to have a military background was the absolutely the best part of the resume. I cannot agree with you more on that. I'm prior service myself. In fact I just ETS from active duty. I think that having the military background will far surpass any pilot ratings, especially having ATC as an MOS. There can be anyone that interviews for the same job with you and I. They could have 500+ hours ratings etc. but I can almost guarantee that with our military background, we will always get the job offer first. Instead of asking about having a PPL to get a job, maybe he/she should go active duty so this won't even be an issue.
