Bang on.
Whilst I don't have first hand experience of the military system, I'd also suggest that the supervision that the Bloggs is under when they get type rated and into a SQN is far more stringent than a Bloggs who has been cleared to the line in the RHS of an RPT jet.
It takes a long time and a lot of supervision before they are cleared. Also, Mil aircrew are taught to fly in three dimensions, with aerobatics, formation, LL and lots of command decisions and planning early in their training. The experience is similar to that gained by GA pilots during their training and early career. I don't fly RPT but I am a nervous passenger when sitting in the back of an airliner and would prefer GA/Mil experience up the front when I fly.
Good luck to the cadets. It is a good oportunity if you only want to fly an airliner and have the cash. But I have only flown Jetstar once, and never will again.
