That doesn't change the fact that side by side at the end of the day a military trained pilot is a better pilot and a better employee. If it wasn't true the majors wouldn't seek out mil guys and hire them at lower hours. If that burns you up, that's your problem. Sorry you can't accept reality.
Still doesn't change the fact that Captain America made a rookie mistake that led to him putting a perfectly good airplane in the dirt. All that skill and training you hold up didn't prevent that. He's human. So are you and I and every other pilot on this planet. THAT is the point. Pride goeth before the fall.
