I've flown with some great ex-military pilots and i've flown with some horrible ex-military pilots. I have flown with some great civilian pilots and I've flown with some horrible civilian pilots. Your background doesn't matter. If I hopped in a c172 right now i'd scare the sh*t out of the flight instructor sitting next to me. And if he/she jumped in the jet i'm flying now, he'd scare the sh*t out of me. Just because you are the best bomber/fighter pilot in the military doesn't mean you are good at flying an Airbus from New York to San Fransisco everyday. Just because you used to be a RJ captain doesn't mean you know everything about the airlines either. I just had a "retired Commander in the United State Navy" (he let me know about that fact ever 5 minutes) taxi us across an active runway with no clearance - putting my life and career in jeopardy.
So, I guess my point is, we all suck and we all make mistakes and no one is better than another because of their background- and the sooner everyone figures that out the safer and happier we will all be.
