Also, a brand new SUPT trainee has no flying skills at all. It's like teaching a new born, as in they know no different.

It's hard to break patterns and techniques and do things the way the military wants it. A clean slate makes it easier to learn.
That is the problem with the written word, easy to create the wrong impression or for the reader to overlay their own biases. I don't know him personally nor has he really elaborated his post original post. Just thought it a bit knee-jerk to have instantly discredited his point of view. Just trying to contribute to the discussion instead of it becoming a mil vs civilian ego contest like it so often unfortunately becomes. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm just reading words on a screen, however, I still stand behind my words.
