You ever compare Resumes? In addition to the differences in type of flying, it is simply a matter of the difference between the various jobs a Mil Pilot does in 12 years vs being a "line pilot' for any amount of time.

First the obvious: 99% of Mil Pilots have Bachelor's Degrees and the majority (maybe) have Master's Degrees. All of them have graduated from the most prestigious flying schools in the world (Sorry ERAU and UND). Most Mil pilots have held a half dozen jobs within the Air Force (Instructor/Evaluator/Chief of Safety/Chief of Training/Chief Pilot/Director of Operations, etc...) . A comparable civilian resume may have one or 2 of those titles, hence why the bulk of street hires early in the hiring wave from the civilian ranks are former Check airmen and Chief Pilots--or folks with significant extracurricular activity including Union work.

If you're just a "line pilot" your resume stops halfway down the page, whether you've been on the line for 5 or 25 years (unless you're a --you know). It won't matter soon enough anyways, they're gonna run out of Mil Pilots and Regional Check Airmen pretty quick.
