Just remember to put the gear down more often then
A valid point well presented.

Tell you what, if you and your civvy colleagues can remember to fly into mountains/the sea/the undershoot, skid off the runway, run out of fuel, forget to de-ice and fall asleep less often then we'll have a deal

I wasn't really winding you up

Just making the point that an experienced military turboprop captain would not be able to walk into a civilian turboprop captain's job in today's market not only because the civilian market is so poor, but also because the jobs are very different. The principle difference is in the regulatory responsibility, knowledge and paperwork required, not the standard of flying.

At this precise moment it must be hard for anyone to get a job in the civil market, regardless of background, but until only recently experienced military turboprop captains where walking into civil turboprop captains jobs at FlyBe.

I have just read through the posts and have found it quite interesting. If anyone is interested, excluding Ascent there are now 5 uk operators advertising for King Air pilots.
