The point I was trying to make was, that spend your short time at regionals wisely. If you fail in training, it will slow down your progression.
These guys were all mil aviators (from very varied backgrounds. C130, 737 etc). Point wasn't that military guys aren't up to it (which would obviously be completely false), but that if you have a fresh 121 failure, it will likely outweigh your military background for a while when moving to the big league.
I don't believe the mil guys go straight to the big 6 with zero 121 time and no ATP. You need ATP to even start the application.
