Commuting out of ABQ for DEN or SLC at SkyWest could be an option for you. You'd definately have a better quality of life if you moved. If you haven't already do an extensive search on any company you're interested in. Think of places that you would be willing to live (and could afford on regional pay).

Your times are pretty good, however I wouldn't be over confident with them. There are plenty of people interviewing at the regional level that are coming from other regionals/135 outfits that have a lot more time and turbine PIC than that. Upgrade minimums at SkyWest require a 1000 in a crew environment. Your PIC I'm guessing has been in a Cheyenne.

I wouldn't limit yourself to regional flying -- a fractional or a corporate job may be better. Also send in the app to Southwest, and any other place that you meet the mins if you haven't. Longshots for sure but you never know who you might meet in the future who could push your application along. Pilots are getting hired at CAL with a lot less experience than yourself.
