Q: What do mil pilots think of civ pilots?
A: We don't....just be cool to fly with.
Get over it girls.
No reason to get up tight, with the exception of my one bad experience with an ex mil guy, most mil guys embrace the difference between the mil world and their new 121 world. I had the pleasure of sitting in jump (not on DL) while an ex navy guy was doing OE back in 2008, and after, well not the best landing in a cross wind situation, he looks at the captain, then me, then says while frustratingly pointing at the runway, "this is why the turn the damn ship into the wind!" We both had a good laugh.
Tumbleweed sorry your seeing it as a bashing, but it is a fact, that military flying and civilian flying are two different worlds. Guys who can embrace that change and try not to let ego get in the way will enjoy their new civilian life of - 2 hour ground stops on their last leg of a 5 day while trying to catch a tight commute, dispatchers who don't add alternates when destination is reporting 1/4 mile visibility, schedulers blowing up your cell phone while in reserve, stacks of jeppesen revisions, hotels infested with bed bugs, ect ect... In all honestly, it's the greatest job in the world.
