Not wanting to disrespect the civil way in, I will say that a military pilot, heavy or fast jet, has a stubborn sense of mission. This includes focus, confidence, and training to the mission.
As a civvy, the chances of washing out are remote. Not to mention that the soldier pilot has a strong background in teamwork, and chain of command.
We should consider putting a stop to giving every child a prize just for showing up. And re-instating proper reward for high performance.
Odds?
