I see. If I remember correctly, and you would know better than me, but where a civ pilot has a high accident rate in the 5-800 hr tt range, a mil pilot's is somewhere aroung the 2-400.
You know, the point where you have most of the training you need to operate, just not the experience in THAT SPECIFIC enviornment to keep you out of trouble.
But yes, a mil pilot is a "low time pilot", but the experience gained in that lower total number of hours is more compressed than a civ pilot.
