We at SWA have had three and they all were pilot error, flown by former military pilots. So for you or anyone else on this forum to say that military pilots are better pilots than civilian pilots is a crock!
I think your missing the point...I think people are trying to say that "training" in the military is better, not necessarily the "pilot". Better training doesn't always equal better pilots. It's not how many hours you have, necessarily, but what you have done/experienced in those hours....my $.02.
