I got furloughed from NJA with nearly 5000 hrs, no PIC. The only call I got was from ASA, interviewed and turned down. That turned out to be a blessing as me going back to a regional would have been break even with commuting expenses on 2nd year pay at min guarantee. First year would have cost us money with full time daycare, food on the road and a crash pad.
Times have changed, it's exactly the opposite of what you just said. If you have too much turbine pic you won't get much of a glance from those airlines you listed. The same thing goes for having a 737 type and applying to a particular airline. They know you will leave for legacy later so why spend the money training you.
