Man, you guys make it sound like we can't walk and chew gum at the same time........ Try being in a stack with half a dozen different assets in the middle of Afghanistan during a TIC with multiple dudes screaming into different radios......just saying...... Though, so true, the military does love to pack a 2 month program into 6 months.....lol
I think it's safe to say, that no matter what your background once you get to the big guys most have the experience (whatever that may be), to adapt.

It's exciting times coming up. I'm looking forward it.

Safety
Comfort
Efficiency
Decision making, in the interview, in training and on line, works best when taken in the priority of Safety, customer Comfort and Service, then Efficiency (completing the mission, being on schedule, cost savings).

Good point. There's still a lot of wisdom in this old Delta logo from the 1930's. Updated for today's vernacular it might read:

All this civilian/military stuff is peeing into the wind in regard to DL hiring. DL wants a good mix of both. As you'll hear in newhire class, they want the military guys for the inherent discipline they bring. They want the civilian guys for the customer service and experience in an airline environment.
DL will do what they have to do to get a good mix of both, as that is what creates the culture that they want.

I'm sure when in a new hire class all that diverse background, when put on the same path to what the airline expects and demands, makes each individual airline come together as a very structured and safe airline. I am sure everyone brings something a little bit different. I'm glad, because if we all had the same background it would most like be boring. A mix of backgrounds is good
I just hope some of us lowly corporate guys get the nod for an interview!

I'd throw Corp guys in there as well. It's amazing the kind of customer support you have to give. Catering, scheduling, planning, making sure they have their ride there when you land, scheduling a conference room at minutes notice, passengers interaction preflight/inflight/postflight/at home/hotel. We are always available during the flight. Needless to say successful businessmen riding on corporate jets are spoiled and needy! But they have earned that right imo.

I'm not sure I'd go that far. There's a lot of mil guys with several thousand hours of heavy jet international time. In command.

I'll chime in here, I had a new hire as my sim partner when I upgraded to 7ER A back in 2008. USAF fighter guy. In the sim he made the following radio call "Delta 757 gear down full stop". I had to chuckle as I said " all our landings are full stops". As a former fighter guy I have to admit I benefited greatly from riding side saddle my first year, the regional guys have the airline flow down when they come here.
