Interesting theory, and it makes perfect sense. But regarding military pilots, why are they so highly revered? Does flying an A-10 or C-17 make you a god among civilian pilots?
On the flip side of that, I also know some military pilots who did their 20 years and are now going to regionals. What gives?
