Do you have your ATP?
If he is flying any kind of jet as Capt, he has to have an ATP.

If the fabled shortage comes up in December (age 65 rule) movement will start from the regionals first. Getting that 121 time will make you much more competitive to a major. That is where the majority of your competition will be from.
There are alot more places that just the "regionals"
I would consider, with the OPs time, a look at the non skeds, freighters and the second and third tier carriers before I would go to the commuters.

I agree with the other posters.
Get your 1000 TPIC before you leave.
Start applying now and by the time you get a job elsewhere you should have the magic number.
I have been in the same spot as you.
