The argument Military versus civilian is stupid. Every Pilot's experience is different. Day/Night, VFR/IFR, Hot and Humid/Cold and Dry. Even Pilots who work at the same airline during the same time period can have vastly different experiences. One pilot bids all red eye lines and has a ton of night flying. One senior pilot bids reserve and hardly ever flys. Another bids northeast trips in the winter, while another bids Florida and Mexico. My point is everyone's experience is different. Move on to another argument.
