I beg to differ with you on that. I'm a military meteorologist and pilots are some of the most average guys I know. Maybe it's different in the civilian sector, but I think pilots just want us to get an inflated view of how tough it is so they can keep walking on water.
Meteorologists are geeks in their own right, especially the NWS. In the job I have now I get to work with the NWS and their production cycle is so much easier than the military's. And it's all on Linux!
