Wow Maverick, I wasn't sure whether to gag or laugh at your Hollywood scripted post. The only thing missing was a cinematic soundtrack.
To even suggest that an ex military pilot would simply be better at dealing with emergencies shows your complete arrogance.
If you would like to compare, "all things being equal", as to the difference between an ex military and a civvy, have a look at the ex military pilots competing in the Red Bull Air Races and see how they stack up against those that have come from a complete civilian background. Surprised? Try telling Chambliss, or Bonhomme that they just not as valuable in the cockpit of the airline they fly for as compared to a Top Gun Maverick like yourself just because they come from a complete GA background.
I'm not saying military pilots make better or worse airline pilots than non-military. It is highly variable based on the individuals. However, to argue that military experience is not relevant is obtuse in the extreme.
Yes partly agreed.
