What often gets left out of the "military goes straight to a legacy" discussion is that those military guys are accumulating 10-20 years experience flying there which is similar (and different) to guys spending 10-20 years at a regional. It's not like they go to pilot training and then just get suddenly hired at a legacy.
Sorry - did not mean to imply that military gets a golden ticket to Legacy. Just that military guys with enough experience have what it takes, trainability, knowledge of complex systems, experience etc. to qualify straight to legacy - 1500 hr CFIs are at a different level of knowledge and experience, and have to gain pertinent experience at a regional/135/fractional first....
