See if a Guard C130 unit will take you. Having the done the gold wing to Guard process, expect 5-6 months. Fly for the Guard as a retired guy. Likely get promoted to O5 and gain more available years of service in the process. Maintain currency. Get hired by an airline. Use your Guard work to control the airline schedule until your seniority can hold an acceptable schedule, then reevaluate. I never regretted my 10 yrs in the Guard.
