If you have the chance/opportunity to fly fighters, it’s a no-brainer: do it. Flying fighters is an incomparable experience that only a fraction of the earth’s population will ever have, so don’t pass it up if given the slightest chance.

AGREE WITH TOTALLY

Some civilian pilots hate that airlines like hiring fighter guys, but they simply don’t know what they don’t know.

AGREE but having been on both sides of the coin I would much rather hire a 737 guy or regional guy for an airline job than fighter pilot. One does not correlate with the other so much. Airlines hire them because they are a known quality. But I don’t agree with that at all. Civilians make much better civilian pilots than a lot of mil guys do.
