Sorry, but I have to call BS here. You're way overestimating the abilities of a brand-new military pilot. Yes, they receive great training, but they still have the experience and judgment of a 250 hour pilot. No way around that. A fresh-out-of-B-course fighter pilot poses a greater danger to his fellow pilots than to any adversary. Sure, they can fly the jet, but their SA is about zero at that point.

And there isn't a soul alive flying an F-22 with only 200 hours.
