Funny. We hired a UAL-furloughed ex-Marine into my guard unit 8-9 years (flew Hornets). We sent him off to KC-135 school, where after a few weeks he decided he wants to come home because the training was ridiculous and it apparently didn't meet his standards. So we brought him home and got a waiver to initial qual him in house, which is something rarely approved. We barely got him through our program. The guy had issues with checklists, CRM and aircraft control. One of the scariest landings I've ever witnessed (from the jump seat) was his truly. He wound up leaving for some MPA staff job and actually worked a 20 yr AD retirement out of the deal. My point being; although this may have been an extreme case, not all fighter pilots have "The Right Stuff".
