Dh says this all the time. Personally, I would rather fly coach on any commercial flight with a former military pilot up front than fly first class when a civilian-trained pilot is at the controls. It's a different feeling boarding a plane when one of our former military jet pilot friends is in the cockpit doing his pre-flight.

There are very competent pilots flying without military experience however most of the "short hop" pilots are very underpaid and are working to get their flight hours in so they can achieve full air carrier status.

Mindset and attitude is a factor also sadly enough.
