A 2500 hour RJ FO will be more familiar with airline SOP and checklists than a fighter guy... but he might be a slacker and/or have personaliy/social/leadership defects. Hard to graduate from the mil and be a defective slacker (not impossible, but pretty hard)... true of all mil aviation but even more so fighters.
I’ve know personally a lot of military guys that have terrible CRM, descent planning, ability to manage a flight deck. Stick and rudder is only one component.
Civilian guys thrive in civilian life. So your saying all fighter guys are great leaders? Again your point is moot.
