Yep, based on qualifications, the guy flying the 414, beech 1900, emb-110, etc, is more qualified to enter coporate operations than the fighter guy. The guy you speak of obviously messed up, but would be initially more familiar with that type of operation than the fighter guy would be (assuming flying fighters is all he/she has done). I mean, how much experience operating in bad weather, in an aging propeller aircraft, etc, would the fighter guy have?
Not trying to speak poorly on fighter and/or military operations, but flying a 1900, metro, something of that sort, is going to prepare one for corporate/airline flying more than flying fighter would.
Like one guy said above, your getting 3000 hours in 10-15'ish years of flying in military, as opposed to a lot more flying in the "prop trash" world, doing the same sort of flying your going to be doing in your corporate/airline job.
You speak of this guys flight experience only being in the "teens in props", even more reason he will be more prepared for the corporate/airline world, albight he obviouisly screwed up at some point, according to your account.
I dont fly fighters, but do you guys regularly fly low and slow in the weather, in props?
By the way, they hire guys with zero jet time, into jets, on a regular basis, seems to work out fine. There are going to be rotten eggs, military or civilian.
