Pilot and Military, but not a Military Pilot
I know that airlines look at Military pilots favorably and that they can make it to the majors faster than straight civilian guys. My question is, do the majors or LCCs look at Military (non mil pilot) guys any better or different than straight civilian pilots? I'm sure there are plenty of enlisted guys that got all their ratings on the civilian side while reserve or after AD. Any positions that might get you some bonus points like 1st Sgt, or other leadership positions? Thanks for any/all information.

Your career progression will be 100% civilian, that's the competitive environment for you. You won't get any significant shortcuts.
The mil background will grant a tiny bit of extra credit, they know you'll show up on time, with clean shave and pressed shirt. Might also be a good conversation point at an interview.
