Regionals business model is built around washing the weak ones out.
This is sort of true, but mil guys are rarely "weak"... they would have been flushed before wings (there is of course a rare exception to every rule) The majors have training programs that are mostly designed to accommodate a mil aviator who has no 121 or transport experience. The biggest mistake a mil guy will make is to assume airline, or especially regional, training is going to be easy. As long as they put in at least half the effort they did in the mil, they'll be fine. And like anyone else they must check any attitude at the door
