Prior military flight experience and hiring?

I'm an air force pilot with about 600 combat flight hours and Supervisor of Flying (SOF) qualified at my squadron. Unfortunately, medical issues have me being separated from the Air Force here soon. I wrap up my ADX training and oral next week.

What effect, if any, will my prior military experience have on my hiring process?
 
Your leadership and flight experience are great. As long as you can read weather, NOTAMS, approach plates, and enroute charts, you will be fine (which you have plenty of). That’s most of every written test for regional airlines. The interview process is how confidently you correctly answer their questions, which is mainly asking you more basic dispatch questions. Any HR questions are pretty basic. We have plenty of former military that were not in aviation but have the leadership skills.

Good luck.
