If you were hiring a pilot would you want to hire the best, or one who thought you don't have to be good---just good enough?

Jolly,

I am sure that our military pilots are the best in the world at what they do, but that doesn't make them the best at everything. It takes some work to get those fighter guys into airline shape.
