I will say that when I got into this biz the first time in 92 after leaving the AF, I went to work for Eagle and after my years of mil training, the school house was pretty easy. Most of the guys in my class had never been in a full motion sim before and it took them a bit to get use to that.... overall I wouldnt change a thing, ( even my long lay off from aviation ) but I will say this there are BAD military pilots just like there are bad civilian trained pilots.

The hardest thing for me to get use to when i flew for eagle was that senority was everything. Coming from a military flight culture where performance was about 90% of everything....meaning slackers got left behind...upgraded slower..... to AC and IP... etc... the guys who had good hands, passed all their checks, KNEW their **** COLD and could perform... those guys moved ahead.
