Based on the questions that US Air asks on their application, I don't think their bias is toward a military pilot. I'm sitting similar to Blue with a bunch of jet sorties, a lot of TPIC (based on military standard of "a lot").
2,000 TPIC military time is more than enough to hang with the other folks depending on what else comes with the whole package. Behind what is listed on APF, there are likely a lot of other quals (section lead, division lead, mission commander, NATOPS Instructor, SEFE, etc...), all of which hold a lot of weight. How much weight?... however much the hiring dept assigns to it, but there are a lot of ex military in each airline that know what those quals mean, and what it takes to work up toward them.
Hopefully someone else can chime in and tell me I'm wrong, and let me know you can compete at US Air as a 2000 hour military guy.
