The truckies I've flown with have all been top guys.
Never had a problem with fast jet guys ability to pole, it's been the CRM that's been lacking, with one or two exceptions of course. Especially in the early days of joining.
A colleague of mine was in a recurrent sim with an ex fast jet guy. My mate was a capt and had been for 5 years or so at the time. It was fast jet guy's first recurrent after joining us. His closing gambit was "I can't believe I've been out flown by a civilian". Many anecdotes abound of such ilk. Speaks to the point scoring competitive attitude that is not welcome on a civilian flight deck.
No chips. I never applied for the RAF. I would never have prospered in such an environment even though I am sure the flying must be fantastic. I do love quizzing ex RAF fos about their experiences. I find them fascinating.
Yes. I agree. Need to change my profile, seemed appropriate 10 years ago when I wrote it.

fmgc, just curious, do you ask a guy his background when you first meet, so you can make pre-judgements about him?

I flew with a few F/Os who were ex RAF, good chaps in the main, a couple couldn't gel with civvy ops though
The ones who could were splendid operatorsI personally still prefer civvy, self-sponsered peeps
