Respectfully disagree with you on this on two accounts. MIL training and flying is so much more intense than civilian that most airlines give credit for the ability to succeed in that environment. For example, if a student wasn't ready for a particular check-ride milestone, he/she would get maybe 2 extra flights and then "good luck in your future endeavors" if they didn't make the cut.
MIL flight time is from take off to landing. I.e. MIL guys are missing what civilians would get on a Hobbs meter. So, you can typically add .2 or .3 per flight.
V-22 guys should be able to call it high performance MIL.
