Why can an airforce pilot come and join an airline after retiring from a career in the airforce with very little heavy jet experience when, now that I am past the age of 24, I cannot go and fly a heavy jet in the airforce with 1000s of hours experience.
This seems a bit an@l to me.
I hear stories of pilots flying for the american airlines one day, and then flying a USAF F15 the next.
