You just generally carry on in smaller groups (crews) vs fighter squadrons which generally travel together as a squadron. There are certain somewhat formal traditions in fighter squadrons (roll calls, namings, etc) that heavy squadrons don't have, but the antics are the same. I also think that if you'd ask non-rated folks within the Air Force what they thought of pilots in general, their description of fighter/non-fighter guys alike would be pretty similar to what you are placing on fighter guys alone....arrogance, debauchery, etc.
