A new hire on the jumpseat asking questions. Isn’t that usually a good way to get information? Since they don’t do either ramp control or RNAV arrivals in many of the aircraft operated by the military, did you really expect a new hire out of the military to know about such things?
You make negative blanket statements about mil pilots using “most” and “many” and then you end up saying most are just fine. Which is it? If most prior mil pilots are “consummate professionals”, etc. then why would you let the few bad apples with ego issues sway your opinion to “give all military pilots a bad name”? If you’re able to recognize that most aren’t part of the problem, why do you feel it’s necessary to malign them all because of a few?
Of the ones that struggle, those are usually what the problems are. They don't sway my opinion but because they are so easily identifiable, it's easy to attach a stigma the same way you would to a Purdue or Riddle grad. I don't judge them but many are quick to and I'm just relaying some of the major areas that cause them problems.
