There is more truth to that than you realize -- plus lots of USAF fighter pilots (i.e., Sully).
I can't back this up with data right now, but I'd wager than at least 50% of the current airline captains (including the puddle jumpers) got their flight training in the military. Maybe higher. Navy has a strong representation because the guys got tired of being deployed for six/nine months on carriers, and opted for staying at home with the family and flying for the airlines. I personally know at least three ex-Coasties who are Captains for either US Air or Delta.
