DO NOT turn this into a Mil vs Civ debate ... that is pointless. Both sides bring valuable assets to the table. Enough said ...
GENERALLY SPEAKING ... I agree with the poster that civilians have more experience flying "in" weather.
BUT to clarify, I would go on to say that GENERALLY SPEAKING when comparing civilian to military, if two 35 year-old pilots land a job at a major airline ... the civilian will have at least twice the amount of flight time (and then some) as the mil bubba. Thereby having twice as much time "in the weather" so to speak, since it is all the same airspace as you say ...
That's been my personal experience thus far ... twice.
