That's a ridiculous comparison. How much does it cost to get a military pilot to that point? Sure, you *could* do it in the civilian sector by spending millions per student with a bazillion percent washout rate (and an 8-10 year commitment at the regionals? LOL!) but that's comparing apples to jackhammers.
