I wonder if there is any correlation with having been in the Air Force and handling these high stress civilian airline near disasters.
Both this captain and the Sullenberger of thMiraclenon the Hudson were Air Force (RAF and USAF respectively). Since, you will be going against an enemy who may damage your aircraft, there is likely more training on how to assess and recover from damage as well as how to handle these types of situations.
From watching Air Disasters pilots with military training has helped out a number of times.
However such pilots being very authoritarian or having bad crew resource management and not listening/refusing to let the copilot help has caused a number of accidents (or been a contributing factor) numerous times too.
