Ask any of the civilian operators in PNG their opinions of ex military pilots particularly Australian and British and also their capabilities on the recent fires in OZ with one or two exceptions.
Nothing personal but the ex mil guys could not do the job that involved making decisions that wern't already written in some SOP manual that had been learnt parrot fashioned and with at least 2 or 3 crew to assist.
There were exceptions though and that was the ex US military guys working for Columbia.
I do not feel the slighest concern that a military or ex militay pilot will be a threat to my job security as a VFR airwork line pilot unless my ex military boss reads this.
Make us feel insignifcant now with your replies and then allow us to challenge you to put your money where your mouth is single pilot VFR whatever task you choose
