Firstly, I must acknowledge that the vast majority of the ex Military fast jet pilots I have flown with can certainly fly a big jet with no FD, AP or A/THR. However, they tend to be over confident and have huge egos which can also be a challenge at times. I am not sure of the standard of the FTA cadets supplied to CX, but the BAE cadets were generally well motivated and generally of a good overall standard.
