I appreciate shotone that you have a bee in your bonnet, but could I point out that you have the wrong end of the stick.

The distinction most are drawing is not between military and civilian pilots; its between full time, do-it-for-a-living pilots and part time pilots who are doing it as a hobby ,or leisure activity, or some other reason. Military and civil does not come into it.

And leading on from that, again most of the posts (if you care to read them) make no comment, disrespectful or otherwise, on the pilots flying abilities whatever the reason he was in the air.

Frankly, you are just making stuff up - and this is way more disrespectful in the long run because it is maintaining a discussion about the pilots abilities, which is a non-existent issue at this moment for most of us at this time.
