There has to be caution with a military attitude to handling airliners. This was one of the reasons for the advent of upset programs in the 90's. US carriers were teaching inappropriate rudder recovery at low speed with sixties era fighter guys dominating C&T- rudders are great in a high g rolling scissors but perhaps not in airliners. The other reason was some appalling civilian training which persists today- some of what was being said about stall recovery in this town recently was terribly ignorant from some quarters.

So I'd be careful with a gung-ho approach to jet airliner handling. Needs to be measured with consideration to simulator fidelity and airline manufacturer input.

Oh and your experience means rats. Not sure if you realize you can be replaced with the 3500 hour Captain. From the same proving ground that brought you the 150 hr F/O.
