I've had a few beers so I didn't bother to read any other posts, so if I'm repeating anything forgive me. Dude, relax you will be fine just troughing, do not I repeat do not take a regional job. I'm flying for a major and the first year at 30k was horrible, second year is much better. If you go to a regional you will never want to leave military flying ever again. Build your time within your squadron and then apply to a major. Just my 2 cents.
