A valid point well presented.
Tell you what, if you and your civvy colleagues can remember to fly into mountains/the sea/the undershoot, skid off the runway, run out of fuel, forget to de-ice and fall asleep
less often then we'll have a deal
I wasn't really winding you up
Just making the point that an experienced military turboprop captain would not be able to walk into a civilian turboprop captain's job in today's market not only because the civilian market is so poor, but also because the jobs are very different. The principle difference is in the regulatory responsibility, knowledge and paperwork required, not the standard of flying.
