Not a Mil vs Civil debate. Military Pilots get the best training, fly good equipment and enjoy a high standard of living during their military career. A civilian pilot must pay for the training, work for low wages, spend a lot of time flying low and slow, often thru the weather with a minimum equipt, old noisy airplane. Most Civil pilots learn from making bad decisions that ultimately result in building a good judgement database from those bad decisions. I'm ex-military (non-pilot) and believe me when I say, I have the highest respect for the military pilots. I also come from a civilian pilot background and have a pretty good idea of "paying your dues" climbing up the ladder. Both groups pay their dues to get an airline career.
