Because very often they too go from zero experience to flying very heavy iron in a relatively short time frame; I realize military training is very well designed and that people use sophisticated equipment form the very beginning however, in a way it’s a little like an ab-initio training program where pilots solo in Bonanzas and quickly transition to Airbus/Boeing simulators…

Seriously dude, If you think that soloing in a Bonanza is anything even remotely close graduating from either USAF or USN pilot training - you have no idea what military aviation is about. Soloing in a Bonanza (or similar aircraft) is done as a pre-requisite before even being allowed to start USAF pilot training. Becoming a fully IFR qualified pilot with over 300 jet hours, 200 sim hours, fully aerobatic, fingertip formation, low-level, cross-country IFR navigation,............ and this is just the first year. Nevermind that in order to leave the military, another 8+ year commitment must be served which will include further, much more advanced training, and thousands of hours in command of a jet................. actually, the more I explain this I realize how retarded the comparison is.

I'm out.
