....but 4000+ hrs on transport aircraft is.

"If you're all so great then why can't you fly an Airbus any better than a non-mil pilot?"

....because you don't fly an airbus, you use the stick to ask the computer very nicely if it wouldn't mind moving the Elevators / Ailerons. Mil pilots are used to having full control authority over their aircraft.

....and we would know what to do with it if someone took a pot-shot at you going into BAH or similar, not an unrealistic prospect in this day and age.

OK, a bit of frivolous banter, I admit, but like I said, breadth of experience.....
