Plane Answers: Civilian vs. military pilot — which one is better? {Gadling}
Jan 15th 2010 11:40PM "Peak Airways", If you'll go back & reread Kent's comments regarding military pilots working with/as a crew, he stated: "a fighter pilot is at a disadvantage since they've never flown as part of a crew at an airline". He was referring to FIGHTER pilots, not C-130, C-141, C-5 or any other cargo or bomber pilot. Having spent thirty years in the Air Force, I have to agree with his assessment. Fighter pilots are trained & use to working as a independent. They are not use to watching out for or taking care of anyone but themselves, especially when it comes to assuring that their crews have the proper quarters, transportation, feeding, etc. Crew "teamwork" is virtually an unknown to them. It's rare when you find one who knows otherwise. My association was with both types of pilots, Therefore, I know from where I speak as I've been there, done that & experience the indifferent, insensitive & uncaring attitude by them far too many times in my career. FYI, I'm also a pilot. Retired, but still a pilot!
PS: Kent, Keep up the good work! You make me miss it everyday!
Two Jaguars Players Arrested, Stupidity Not One of the Charges (Though It Should Be) {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Nov 4th 2007 9:37AM Down though the years the Miami Dolphins have changed coaches & players, but still have the same old problems, which leads me to believe that there's too much "Micro-Management" from the top of their organization. If they keep it up, maybe they ought to take up tennis or badmitten as they sure aren't playing football!
