Need, Should, Must
"If coming from a military background you will need to have 3000 hours which should include at least 1500 hours Fast Jet or heavy experience."
compared to the Civi requirement:
"If coming from a commercial background you must have an Airbus or Boeing rating and experience with 3000 hours, 1000 on type."
My basic understanding of the english language is "Must" is more critical than "Should".
So perhaps more of you should apply!
