I have flown both military and civilian.

You CANNOT compare a new military pilot that attended training for up to 2 years FULL TIME to someone that did the civilian route where you. Do maybe a two hour lesson 3 times a week and flew a 172 around in good weather to bulk up enough time to get a CPL.

My fixed wing training was civilian, and it was scary how lax the training standards are when compared to a military training environment.

250 hours civilian DOES NOT!! Equal 250 military
