Dont think you will find anyone leaving the UK armed forces at the moment struggling to find a job.
Most Mil guys have to accumulate 2000hrs TT and 1500hrs P1, now that may not sound a lot to most LCC types, but that is 10 years flying in the military and there is a lot to be said about quality vs quantity. Not to mention airmanship built up over that period. This is why mil guys are attractive to airlines.
I have eared some employers don't like military pilots cuz they fly alone, and take risks,...
Quite frankly mr dartagnan, that is bolleaux to make such a generalisation. Not all Mil types fly alone, and none I have met take unnecessary risks. I think you are confusing ability to operate to an aircraft to its limits to achieve an aim vs 'taking risks'.
