It depends.
In the past it was routine for single-term junior enlisted to get a General Under Honorable when their enlistment expired. At some point, DoD started giving honorables to everyone who completed their term without significant problems. Today a General Under Honorable would be given to someone with significant but minor discipline problems (ie no felonies).
Today the expectation for high-tier civilian employers (including major airlines) is that all applicants have an honorable or they are probably not going to be considered. But if your general discharge was the norm at the time, HR folks would probably be aware of that since they would be used to seeing folks older than a certain age with general discharges.
When did that paradigm shift occur? I'm thinking 15-20 years ago, but you would have to research it to be sure.
But the issue here is not so much the character of the discharge but the underlying circumstances. Again, you should be able to get a regional job, but hard to say beyond that.
