Rascal -

Then I guess you didn't understand what I was saying. I believe that an employer (especially the HR people) WOULD understand that as a former pilot you bring all of those qualities to any job that you might have; and you have proven those qualities on a daily basis in a way that most others don't have an opportunity too.

We in the military have certainly been taught that those qualities carry over into the civilian market - just look at a majority of the recruiting commercials.

In the end - I do not agree with what Skyhigh said that if something happened to your flying job that you would have "Zero value to the outside job market. They have to start totally over".
