I'm sorry Pontius...

But that might be the most ignorant post of the year. Forget about the exceptionally high standard of training and the washout rate involved in just qualifying for status as a military aviator. Look at the realities of training to a combat standard, fatalities and near misses are simply a part of the job.

Go beyond that and look at the operational conditions in peacetime military flying and then go to X10 for flying in combat conditions. For you to compare the quality of a fully qualified military aviator with at least one complete tour under his belt to a cadet (or even a 1500 hour civilian) is telling.
