I'd like the Navy to run all the nukes in the country. Every phase of selection and training is so far beyond what the private sector demands.
I'd also like ex-military (preferably Navy as well) to fly all the commercial flights. When I hear stories of 24 year old civilian trained pilots flying commuter planes it terrifies me. That flight that crashed in Buffalo a while back had 2 children at the controls, neither of whom had ever flown in icing conditions. One made a comment over the comm that he'd never stalled an airfoil or recovered from a spin. I did that the FIRST WEEK of flight school. My experience has been that civilian schools teach their pilots how to fly the airplane. In the Navy we were taught how to fly the aircraft when EVERY frickin' thing imaginable goes wrong. It was exhausting.
