Hi Guys/Gals,
Let us slow down here a bit before we paint with too wide a brush.For years and years ex Air Force,Navy and other para military organizations have provided competent,skilled and well adjusted airline pilots.There is definitely a learning curve and there will be some big headed egotists that will never be successful in the civil environment.However, to label all the ex military guys as useless is ingenous at best and envious at worst.
I myself am an ex military pilot flying civil now and have friends all across the operational spectrum (Airlines, Charters, On- Demand, Helicopters Off Shore, EMS etc) on three continents and they are all dong just fine and are well repected in their fields and companies.
I would agree that the process should not be rushed and these guys need exposure to the civil flying world before being allowed to take the left seat.But anything beyond that is silly.
