I work with a fair few ex military pilots. Not one them is an arse. All are professional and committed, a pleasure to fly with and want to learn. Most are surprised at the pace and workload of a type rating (of course you could blame that on the trainers!) but being the type of person they are they just get on with it (also chivvied me along a bit and I was on my fifth).

If someone wants to hand fly a raw data ILS or a visual, which is fine by me, more than likely its an ex mil guy, if only for some practice. In fact in the last nineteen years I’ve had one, yes one, FO not from a military back ground want to turn everything off for an approach.

Conversely there are quite a lot of civvy bell ends. I might even be one.

Respect.
