Weren't operational ME-262s usually flown only by elite veteran Luftwaffe pilots (Galland, Lutzow etc) ? Whilst this doesn't so much affect the comparison between the AIRCRAFT, those asking in what circumstances etc would need to take into consideration that you're not positing Hitler Jugend pilots in these aircraft, but people who can (usually) control the foibles of the aircraft and make the most of it
