I didn't look at what he said like that.
In his defense, he made a lot of sense. He didn't say his military creds should entitle him to the class of his choice. Just that 20 years flying in the mil should suffice for the silly balance the ball on the see-saw while counting backwards tests.
The one thing about mil pilots that I think everyone can agree on is that as a group they bring at least a guaranteed average acceptable (or better) standard that is widely recognized by pretty much everyone in the industry. The fact that someone could successfully navigate a 20 year military flying career but not get a job offer because of some high theory "cog test" implied derivatives is kind of silly when you think about it.
He also didn't say he shouldn't have to interview.
