I wouldn't agree with that. Fighter/Attack guys can make fine airline pilots and many will finish a CAREER with less time than that, and most would never come close to that if they only stayed in for their initial 10 year commitment. Plus the single engine types wouldn't hve a prayer at the 500 ME obviously. You would be cutting out a portion of a highly skilled pilot group who have proven their worth over time in the industry.
I would agree with the 1500 hour minimum though with no credit given to any special group.

I agree with scoop who said the military thing is a solution looking for a problem. I'm pretty sure that in 10 years of flying, you can probably manage to average 150hrs/yr. I wouldn't worry about the multi engine thing. I'm not convinced that the 100hr multi time actually makes a difference when you sit in a transport category plane.
