PS, I’m not a mil jet guy, I’m a former RW guy who has 1200 hours of flight time that most majors don’t even consider actual flight time.

The dynamics and workload associated with the types of flying. The maturity level and cognitive function required to lead multiple aircraft into a combat situation, and deploying ordinance in close proximity to friendly forces demonstrates a higher level of proficiency than does landing a twin Cessna on a 8,000 Ft runway.

Being shot at. Then flying a jet and landing on a carrier. Having to catch a cable with a tail hook or go swimming.
Yeah, there is a bit of difference.

Because there is more airmanship in any one of the fighter guy’s hours than any 100 of the other guys.
Paging Wackmaster and his “but, but... we land at busy airports and stuff...”
To which any fighter dude that has flown in an LFE launch and recovery (which is almost all of them) just chuckles and says “that’s cute.”

I don’t think I said anything disparaging about pure CIV flying, but you can hardly compare 1700 hours of flight instruction (I’d say typically almost all piston) to 1700 of F-whatever time. If somebody wants to do the math, subtract 150kts from the speed of sound, and there’s the big difference. And again, I’ve never flown any military jets, so I’m not bragging up my own experience here.

Congrats on getting off probation Warhawg, but humility goes a long way.
