Really, I hadn't heard that.
I was going off all the information that came out after the Colgate Air 3407 crash in regards to how feeder airlines treat their pilots.
I've talked to several CFI's who are moving into regional carriers and they report the same environments, i.e. high hours/low pay.
It sounds like maybe you're set if you can clear that hurdle and move directly to a "real" airline?

It's kind of like how if you go to the right college for CS you can go directly to software engineer without having to spend years in IT or QA or working on your own side projects for fun, before finding someone who will pay you to be a software engineer, let alone someone like google or apple. The major airlines love, love, love military pilots, especially ones that muster out around o-3, o-4 because they are in their late 20s/early 30s (lots of years left before mandatory retirement), they are already completely trained, have tons of time flying planes (compared to civilian pilots of the same age), and they are almost overqualified for ferrying passengers in terms of abilities/skills.
