Red herring. The military has historically moved people from 0TT to jet

the more salient considering how picky they are about the students.

Yes, and the reason is that they get the fundamentals solid before
moving on. Many civilian instructors and flight schools move students
along too fast and this increases the total time in the end.


Really? I'd say they move along at a snails pace. How many students take
50-60 hours to get their private certificate and take a year to get those
50-60 hours? In the military it's non-stop, every day learning.

You are confusing speed with time. Moving fast matters not a whit if
you are going in circles. As I said, the total time is longer in the
end if you move too fast initially and don't get the basics down.
