Default Advice From those that have gone before..

I have a unique situation that I would like some advice on. I am retiring from the AF Jun 1 of next year-I have had an interesting career that has left with with strange flight experience. 0 Hrs of Single Engine time, 2000+ hrs of Multi-Engine Time, almost all of which is PIC (T-37's, 1250 hrs, and MC-12W, 750 hrs), but none of which is within the last 6 months, and 2000 hrs of Helicopter time, about 1/2 PIC (MH-53, and UH-1's) that is recent. I have been to some regional job fairs, and just with my fixed wing time have received solid looks from multiple companies, so I feel fairly confident that if they are hiring, and I interview well, I can go directly to that level. My question is; In my situation, where would you look to try and get hired? Is my experience competitive at Fedex, American, or Delta? Should I try at one of the other Majors (JetBlue or Frontier)? Is there a corporate opportunity out there that fits my skills better that anyone knows of? My ultimate goal will be to fly a large aircraft over the ocean and even get paid for doing it..any advice would be greatly appreciated..
